openSUSE Security Update : cifs-mount (cifs-mount-2128)

low Nessus Plugin ID 45340

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

With enabled 'wide links' samba follows symbolic links on the server side, therefore allowing clients to overwrite arbitrary files (CVE-2010-0926). This update changes the default setting to have 'wide links' disabled by default. The new default only works if 'wide links' is not set explicitly in smb.conf.

Due to a race condition in mount.cifs a local attacker could corrupt /etc/mtab if mount.cifs is installed setuid root. mount.cifs is not setuid root by default and it's not recommended to change that (CVE-2010-0547).

Solution

Update the affected cifs-mount packages.
