I get the same access denied error with 4.6.5 packages, built with or without the patch for this particular regression (#12860 upstream) (my 4.6.5 artful test packages: ppa:ahasenack/samba-merge)
I think sharing the real root filesytem (/) is not a common scenario. I found one bug upstream related to sharing "/" and has been untouched by developers since late 2013. Let's see if it was working in a previous version, then there would be a bigger incentive to have this fixed upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1701073 Title: CVE-2017-2619 regression breaks symlinks to directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/1701073/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
