Synopsis

Description

Samba was updated to fix a security issue :

Samba, when vfs_streams_depot or vfs_streams_xattr is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass intended file restrictions by leveraging ACL differences between a file and an associated alternate data stream (ADS). (CVE-2013-4475)
