<description>
<p>Smb4k contains a logic flaw in which mount helper binary does not
properly verify the mount command it is being asked to run.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A local user can execute commands with the root privilege due to the
mount helper being installed as suid.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Smb4K users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/smb4k-1.2.3-r1:4"
</code>
</resolution>
