Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : links (MDKSA-2006:216)

high Nessus Plugin ID 24601

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The links web browser with smbclient installed allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in an smb:// URI, as demonstrated by using PUT and GET statements.

Corporate 3.0 is not affected by this issue, as that version of links does not have smb:// URI support.

Updated packages have disabled access to smb:// URIs.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
