Gunter Höckel discovered that Samba with registry shares enabled did not
properly validate share names. An authenticated user could gain access to the
root filesystem by using an older version of smbclient and specifying an
empty string as a share name. This is only an issue if registry shares are
enabled on the server by setting “registry shares = yes”, “include = registry”,
or “config backend = registry”, which is not the default.
