Dear Thierry, > Of course you could disable ... but is it by enabled default? Hmm... looking at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#WRITEABLE http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#READONLY it seems that writeable is off by default: a Samba installation, as per default, is not vulnerable. > - Several distributions run with vulnerable settings per default > if there is a "misconfiguration" it is part of the vendor. Is that vendor Samba? Cheers, Paul Paul Szabo psz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/psz/ School of Mathematics and Statistics University of Sydney Australia
