Discussion

If the "smb.conf" file has excessive permissions, the file may be maliciously modified and the Samba configuration could be compromised.

Check Content

Check the mode of the smb.conf file.

Procedure:
# ls -lL /etc/samba/smb.conf

If the "smb.conf" has a mode more permissive than 0644, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the mode of the smb.conf file to 0644 or less permissive.
