Just got a notice from IBM about "Security Bulletin: Multiple
Vulnerabilities in Samba affect IBM i (2018.04.03)".
In it they mentioned a particular CVE and what PTF's 7.2 and 7.3 would
need to fix it.
I noticed they didn't mention 7.1.
Now, the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" crowd will say the exploit was
introduced on those releases when they put on some enhancement.
I wonder if the hurt is in 7.1 but IBM doesn't care anymore?
