+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Kees Cook of the Ubuntu Security Team has identified multiple
+ vulnerabilities in Smb4K.
+ </p>
+ <ul><li>The writeFile() function of
+ smb4k/core/smb4kfileio.cpp makes insecure usage of temporary
+ files.</li>
+ <li>The writeFile() function also stores the contents of
+ the sudoers file with incorrect permissions, allowing for the file's
+ contents to be world-readable.</li>
+ <li>The createLockFile() and
+ removeLockFile() functions improperly handle lock files, possibly
+ allowing for a race condition in file handling.</li>
+ <li>The smb4k_kill
+ utility distributed with Smb4K allows any user in the sudoers group to
+ kill any process on the system.</li>
+ <li>Lastly, there is the potential
+ for multiple stack overflows when any Smb4K utility is used with the
+ sudo command.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could gain unauthorized access to arbitrary files via
+ numerous attack vectors. In some cases to obtain this unauthorized
+ access, an attacker would have to be a member of the sudoers list.
+ </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-0.6.10a"</code>
+ </resolution>
