Fedora 19 : cifs-utils-6.3-2.fc19 (2014-6046)

high Nessus Plugin ID 74383

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Update to the latest available sources upstream. The included bug fixes fix a stack overflow issue in pam_cifscreds and also add better error handling to functions used by pam_cifscreds.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected cifs-utils package.
