How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 samba-dc to version 0:4.10.4-10.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2020:1084.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-dc package and not the samba-dc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the samba client, all samba versions before samba 4.11.2, 4.10.10 and 4.9.15, where a malicious server can supply a pathname to the client with separators. This could allow the client to access files and folders outside of the SMB network pathnames. An attacker could use this vulnerability to create files outside of the current working directory using the privileges of the client user.
