+ ==============================
+
+
+######################## SECURITY RELEASE ########################
+
+Summary: Potential Arbitrary File Access
+
+Affected
+Versions: Samba 2.2.x
+
+Summary: A remote attacker may be able to gain access
+ to files which exist outside of the share's
+ defined path. Such files must still be readable
+ by the account used for the connection.
+
+CVE ID: CAN-2004-0815
+ (http://cve.mitre.org/)
+
+This is the last stable release of the Samba 2.2 code base.
+There will be no further Samba 2.2.x releases.
+
+-------------
+CAN-2004-0815
+-------------
+
+A bug in the input validation routines used to convert DOS
+path names to path names on the Samba host's file system
+may be exploited to gain access to files outside of the
+share's path defined by smb.conf.
+
+
+Protecting Unpatched Servers
+----------------------------
+
+Samba file shares with 'wide links = no' (a non-default
+setting) in the service definition in smb.conf are *not*
+vulnerable to this attack.
+
+The Samba Team always encourages users to run the latest stable
+release as a defense of against attacks. However, under certain
+circumstances it may not be possible to immediately upgrade
+important installations. In such cases, administrators should
+read the "Server Security" documentation found at
+http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/server_security.html.
+
+
+Credits
+--------
+
+Both security issues were reported to Samba developers by
+iDEFENSE (http://www.idefense.com/). Karol Wiesek is
+credited with this discovery.
