+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A vulnerability leading to unauthorized file access has been
+ found. A pre-existing symlink from /tmp/sudoers and /tmp/super.tab to a
+ textfile will cause Smb4k to write the contents of these files to the
+ target of the symlink, as Smb4k does not check for the existence of
+ these files before writing to them.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could acquire local privilege escalation by adding
+ username(s) to the list of sudoers.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All smb4k users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/smb4k-0.6.4"</code>
