Package : smb4k CVE ID : CVE-2025-66002 CVE-2025-66003 Debian Bug : 1122381

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in smb4k, a KDE desktop utility which allows unprivileged mounting of Samba/CIFS network shares, which may result in local denial of service or local privilege escalation.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.0-1+deb13u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your smb4k packages.

For the detailed security status of smb4k please refer to its security tracker page at:
