      Not really, but there is a very similar flaw in Linux that you must ensure has been patched, especially in Linux Servers.

      Details are in this Ars Link, but the solution is simple — make sure that you have installed the latest Samba patches. I even received a Mint patch today, so your standard distro should already have the patch in your updates.

      [edit] I checked Rasbian Pixel (raspberry pi) you may need to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get the samba update as I had to use that option. (btw this also plugs the Kodi vlc etc vuln)
