+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>The vulnerabilities allow local users to cause a denial of service (mtab
+ corruption) via a crafted string. Also, local users could mount a CIFS
+ share on an arbitrary mountpoint, and gain privileges via a symlink
+ attack on the mountpoint directory file.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>Gentoo has discontinued support for mount-cifs. We recommend that users
+ unmerge mount-cifs:
+ </p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --unmerge "net-fs/mount-cifs"
+ </code>
