Samba is a software package for UNIX systems that provides file and printer sharing services via the SMB and CIFS protocols. Samba allows Linux, Mac, FreeBSD users to set up shared folders and access shared folders on Windows computers, acting as a liaison between the UNIX and Windows SMB protocol implementations.According to an advisory released yesterday, Samba software released in the last seven years is vulnerable to a remote code execution vulnerability that allows an attacker to upload and execute code on the user’s machine. Depending on the attacker’s skill, he can easily take over vulnerable devices.The issue, tracked as CVE-2017-7494, affects all versions of Samba from 3.5.0 onwards, and was fixed yesterday when the Samba Team has released Samba 4.6.4, 4.5.10 and 4.4.14 to patch the issue.
