Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
Two local vulnerabilities have been discovered in samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Ronald Volgers discovered that a race condition in mount.cifs allows local users to mount remote filesystems over arbitrary mount points. Jeff Layton discovered that missing input sanitising in mount.cifs allows denial of service by corrupting /etc/mtab.
