This signature detects SMB requests for pathnames that attempt to traverse the server root. Samba 3.0.5 and earlier versions are vulnerable. Malicious users can send "get", "put", and "dir" commands to a Samba server to access files outside the shared directories.
Samba is affected by a remote arbitrary file access vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate user-supplied file names. An attacker may leverage this issue to gain access to files outside of a Samba share's path on a vulnerable computer. Information gained in this way may reveal sensitive information aiding in further attacker against the computer.
