Hi, If you are: - Running Samba for providing shares to multiple users - Also allowing these users to login to a shell on the Samba server - Permitting symlinks in Samba (Follow Symlinks = on), and - Have a common upload directory you are vulnerable to a nasty local root compromise attack. Please turn off Follow Symlinks in smb.conf to be safe. I'm not posting the vulnerability here: it's available at your regular neighbourhood vulnerability store.
