FAUCET Score

CVE-2010-0926 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in Samba's smbd component, affecting versions before 3.3.11, 3.4.x before 3.4.6, and 3.5.x before 3.5.0rc3. This flaw allows remote authenticated users to access arbitrary files on a writable share by crafting symlinks with directory traversal sequences. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 3.5 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N), indicating a network-based attack with medium complexity requiring authentication, potentially leading to partial confidentiality impact.
