Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

All versions of Samba prior to 4.15.5 are vulnerable to a malicious client using a server symlink to determine if a file or directory exists in an area of the server file system not exported under the share definition. SMB1 with unix extensions has to be enabled in order for this attack to succeed.
