Even though gentoo's cifs-utils is not installed setuid, I'll wait for upstream bug to be fixed before giving the "ok". Fixed in cifs-utils-5.4. All vulnerable versions are gone from tree. @security: go ahead Thanks, Victor. Unless I am mistaken--always a possibility-- cifs-utils has never been stable. Rerating as ~4 and resolving as fixed. CVE-2012-1586 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-1586): mount.cifs in cifs-utils 2.6 allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files or directories via the file path in the second argument, which reveals their existence in an error message. |
