Re: Samba Remote Zero-Day Exploit

Samba Remote Directory Traversal
logic fuckup discovered & exploited by Kingcope in 2010

It seems there was a quite similar bug found back in 2004:
http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=109658688505723&w=2

A remote attacker can read, list and retrieve nearly all files on the System remotely.
Required is a valid samba account for a share which is writeable OR
a writeable share which is configured to be a guest account share,
in this case this is a preauth exploit.

The attacker can write for example into /tmp or where the account
he is connecting with has access to (/home/<user> etc).

Exploit session (using the patched smbclient exploit):

smb is a samba user created.
