Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Smb4k contains a logic flaw in which mount helper binary does not |
38 |
properly verify the mount command it is being asked to run. |
39 |
|
40 |
Impact |
41 |
====== |
42 |
|
43 |
A local user can execute commands with the root privilege due to the |
44 |
mount helper being installed as suid. |
45 |
|
46 |

========== |
48 |
|
49 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |

51 |
Resolution |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
All Smb4K users should upgrade to the latest version: |
55 |
|

# emerge --sync |
57 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/smb4k-1.2.3-r1:4 " |
