vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root on affected Samba
installations that use the VFS module vfs_fruit.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of EA metadata when opening files in smbd. Access as
a user that has write access to a file's extended attributes is required to exploit this
vulnerability. Note that this could be a guest or unauthenticated user if such users are allowed
write access to file extended attributes.
The problem in vfs_fruit exists in the default configuration of the fruit VFS module using
fruit:metadata=netatalk or fruit:resource=file. If both options are set to different settings
than the default values, the system is not affected by the security issue.");
