Excessive permissions could endanger the security of the Samba configuration file and, ultimately, the system and network.
Check Content
Check the group ownership of the Samba configuration file. # aclget /usr/lib/smb.conf If the extended attributes are not disabled, this is a finding.

Remove the extended ACL from the /usr/lib/smb.conf file and change extended attributes to disabled. #acledit /usr/lib/smb.conf
