Security readout for executives and security teams
Samba's web-based administration tool (SWAT) in version 2.0.7 wrote a log file that any local user on the server could read. That log could contain sensitive material such as usernames and passwords entered through SWAT, giving anyone with shell access to the host a path to reuse those credentials. Very limited today. Exposure requires a running Samba 2.0.7 host with SWAT enabled and untrusted local users on the same system. Samba 2.0.7 dates to 2000 and has been superseded many times; most production environments will have moved off this branch, so real-world exposure is largely legacy or embedded systems. Low priority. This is a legacy local information-disclosure issue in a Samba version from 2000. Address it as part of normal lifecycle upgrades of any lingering legacy Samba hosts rather than as an emergency response item. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Samba off the 2.0.x branch to a currently supported release per vendor guidance.; If SWAT must remain, restrict cgi.log permissions so only the Samba service account can read it.; Disable SWAT where it is not required for administration..
