A vulnerability has been reported for Samba server when run on the Sharp Zaurus Embedix operating system. The problem occurs when mounting the device to the docking station. When docked, a Samba server will immediately be invoked, allowing access via any external interface. It has been discovered that by default the Samba server is configured to allow unauthorized users unrestricted read/write access to the local file system. This could potentially result in the disclosure of sensitive information or the corruption of system resources.
