CVE-2021-31800: Path Traversal
First published: Wed May 05 2021(Updated: )
Multiple path traversal vulnerabilities exist in smbserver.py in Impacket before 0.9.23. An attacker that connects to a running smbserver instance can list and write to arbitrary files via ../ directory traversal. This could potentially be abused to achieve arbitrary code execution by replacing /etc/shadow or an SSH authorized key.
