Companies that provide network-attached storage (NAS) appliances, routers and other types of networking devices have started investigating the impact of a recently disclosed Samba vulnerability on their products.
Updates released last week for Samba, the software suite that provides file and print sharing capabilities between Windows and Unix computers, address a remote code execution flaw (CVE-2017-7494) that affects all versions of the product since 3.5.0, released in March 2010. The fix is included in Samba versions 4.6.4, 4.5.10 and 4.4.14, and a workaround has been made available for unsupported versions.
