83th percentile - higher than 83% of all known CVEs

Summary

Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) in Samba 2.0.7 supplies a different error message when a valid username is provided versus an invalid name. This allows remote attackers to identify valid users on the server.

Risk Assessment

Possible enumeration of valid usernames, which facilitates dictionary attacks and targeted login attempts.

Recommendation

Update Samba to a version newer than 2.0.7 or disable SWAT; unify error messages so they do not reveal user existence.
