SECURITY FOR SAMBA DATASHEET

PROTECTING CROSS PLATFORM NETWORK RESOURCES

Samba fi le servers are a common resource in many large, heterogeneous networks 

as they provide a cost effective suite of utilities and common interoperability between 

Linux/UNIX and Windows-based workstations and Servers. Samba provides secure, 

stable and fast fi le and print services for all many different platforms using the SMB/

CIFS protocol, including all versions of DOS, Windows, OS/2, and Linux.
Samba is also an important component that seamlessly integrates Linux/Unix 

workstations and Servers into Microsoft’s Active Directory environments. Because of 

this integration into the Windows environment, Samba services can easily become a 

carrier for malicious code that target’s the Windows platform.
Some of the critical services a File Server provides within a network include:

 

●

Web Servers (Apache)

 

●

File and Print Servers (Samba)

 

●

Remote Access/VPN Server

 

●

DNS Server

Samba fi le servers are capable of spreading the following security threats;

 

●

Malicious code through shared fi les

 

●

Compressed, infected archives

 

●

Viruses, Trojans and Rootkits

 

●

Worms and Spyware

Files stored on Samba shares can invariably infect other systems with unwanted 

spyware, adware or a Trojan / virus. Worms can also propagate throughout the network 

and infect a Server without warning, and unless protected, the critical network services 

they provide will become unavailable to user community – greatly impacting the 

company’s productivity.
