USN-3242-1 fixed a vulnerability in Samba. The upstream fix introduced a regression when Samba is configured to disable following symbolic links.
This update fixes the problem.
Original advisory details:
Jann Horn discovered that Samba incorrectly handled symlinks. An authenticated remote attacker could use this issue to access files on the server outside of the exported directories.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
