Description
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.
Affected configurations
• samba samba (>= 4.17.0 < 4.17.2)
• fedoraproject fedora 36
• fedoraproject fedora 37
