NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream samba-devel package and not the samba-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A symlink following vulnerability was found in Samba, where a user can create a symbolic link that will make 'smbd' escape the configured share path. This flaw allows a remote user with access to the exported part of the file system under a share via SMB1 unix extensions or NFS to create symlinks to files outside the 'smbd' configured share path and gain access to another restricted server's filesystem.
