Description Adam Mariš 2017-05-12 10:11:33 UTC 
As per upstream samba advisory:

All versions of Samba from 3.5.0 onwards are vulnerable to a remote code execution vulnerability, allowing a malicious client to upload a shared library to a writable share, and then cause the server to load and execute it.

Comment 16 Adam Mariš 2017-05-25 07:55:31 UTC 
Mitigation:

Any of the following:

1. SELinux is enabled by default and our default policy prevents loading of modules from outside of samba's module directories and therefore blocks the exploit

2. Mount the filesystem which is used by samba for its writable share using "noexec" option.

3. Add the parameter:

    nt pipe support = no

    to the [global] section of your smb.conf and restart smbd. This prevents clients from accessing any named pipe endpoints. Note this can disable some expected functionality for Windows clients.
