Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.150746
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Samba 3.0.0 <= 4.3.2 Bypass File-Access Restrictions Vulnerability (CVE-2015-5252)
Summary:Insufficient symlink verification could allow data access; outside share path.
Description:Summary:
Insufficient symlink verification could allow data access
outside share path.

Vulnerability Insight:
All versions of Samba from 3.0.0 to 4.3.2 inclusive are vulnerable to
a bug in symlink verification, which under certain circumstances could
allow client access to files outside the exported share path.

If a Samba share is configured with a path that shares a common path
prefix with another directory on the file system, the smbd daemon may
allow the client to follow a symlink pointing to a file or directory
in that other directory, even if the share parameter 'wide links' is
set to 'no' (the default).

Affected Software/OS:
Samba versions 3.0.0 through 4.1.21, 4.2.0 through 4.2.6 and
4.3.0 through 4.3.2.

Solution:
Update to version 4.1.22, 4.2.7, 4.3.3 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0
