 > Fixes CVE-2017-2619:
 >    All versions of Samba prior to 4.6.1, 4.5.7, 4.4.11 are vulnerable to
 >    a malicious client using a symlink race to allow access to areas of
 >    the server file system not exported under the share definition.

 >    Samba uses the realpath() system call to ensure when a client requests
 >    access to a pathname that it is under the exported share path on the
 >    server file system.

 >    Clients that have write access to the exported part of the file system
 >    via SMB1 unix extensions or NFS to create symlinks can race the server
 >    by renaming a realpath() checked path and then creating a symlink. If
 >    the client wins the race it can cause the server to access the new
 >    symlink target after the exported share path check has been done. This
 >    new symlink target can point to anywhere on the server file system.

 >    This is a difficult race to win, but theoretically possible. Note that
 >    the proof of concept code supplied wins the race reliably only when
 >    the server is slowed down using the strace utility running on the
 >    server. Exploitation of this bug has not been seen in the wild.
