Samba SWAT can be tricked into clickjacking

CVE-2013-0213 · published 13 years ago
Summary

The web‑based administration interface for Samba (SWAT) in older versions can be embedded in another web page, allowing an attacker to hide or overlay it. This could let a user unknowingly perform actions in the Samba manager, potentially changing settings or exposing data. Update Samba to a version that includes the fix or disable the SWAT interface if it is not needed.
