Summary0000023: Default configuration for "wide links"...
DescriptionThe "wide links" parameter is enabled by default. This can be used to view and potentially change files anywhere on the system via symlinks. In ClearOS, this wouldn't get a user very far (in fact, no further than they would if they had shell access enabled). Regardless, this is still an information leak.
 
Here is the announcement from the Samba team:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2010-February/069183.html [^]

And here is the "wide links" entry in the smb.conf man page:

 wide links (S)

     This parameter controls whether or not links in the UNIX file system may be
     followed by the server. Links that point to areas within the directory tree
     exported by the server are always allowed; this parameter controls access only to
     areas that are outside the directory tree being exported.

     Note that setting this parameter can have a negative effect on your server
     performance due to the extra system calls that Samba has to do in order to
     perform the link checks.
