Privilege Escalation via Samba

Privilege escalation can be achieve via Samba.  

Does anyone KNOW how to prevent this?  I'm not asking for the mechanics (i.e. the steps) on what to do.  Right now, I simply want to KNOW if the door can shut (100%/absolutely/positively/guaranteed) on privilege escalation via Samba!

Of course, I KNOW one full-proof way to achieve this - eliminate the service altogether!!!

Thanks in advance!

@Trevor sorry , 100% is not guaranteed unless you remove the service altogether.

Refer : clouddefense.ai/cve/2020/CVE-2020-25717 

SELinux, patching, firewall, strong authentication, principle of least privilege, monitoring are the only options which can restrict the door upto say 90-95% but NOT a 100% guarantee !
