| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of Samba running on the remote host is 4.x prior to 4.0.4 and is, therefore, potentially affected by a file permissions vulnerability.
Files on Active Directory Domain Controllers(AD DC) may be created with world-writeable permissions when additional CIFS file shares are reated on the AD DC.
Note that this issue does not affect the AD DC by default and thus, does not affect files in the 'sysvol' and 'netlogon' shares. Further, installs configured as standalone server, domain member, file server, classic domain controller and installs built with '--without-ad-dc' are not affected. However, it does affect files on shares with simple Unix permissions.
* Note: If this check solely relied on the version number of the remote Samba server to assess this vulnerability, then this might be a false positive.
