Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A flaw was found in cifs-utils. This flaw allows an unprivileged local user to achieve privilege

 options. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject unauthorized mount options, allowing
 them to bypass permission checks and execute files with administrative (root) privileges.
