    <p>
    Kees Cook of the Ubuntu Security Team has identified multiple
    vulnerabilities in Smb4K.
    </p>
    <ul><li>The writeFile() function of
    smb4k/core/smb4kfileio.cpp makes insecure usage of temporary
    files.</li>
    <li>The writeFile() function also stores the contents of
    the sudoers file with incorrect permissions, allowing for the file's
    contents to be world-readable.</li>
    <li>The createLockFile() and
    removeLockFile() functions improperly handle lock files, possibly
    allowing for a race condition in file handling.</li>
    <li>The smb4k_kill
    utility distributed with Smb4K allows any user in the sudoers group to
    kill any process on the system.</li>
    <li>Lastly, there is the potential
    for multiple stack overflows when any Smb4K utility is used with the
    sudo command.</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A local attacker could gain unauthorized access to arbitrary files via
    numerous attack vectors. In some cases to obtain this unauthorized
    access, an attacker would have to be a member of the sudoers list.
    </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 "&gt;=net-misc/smb4k-0.6.10a"</code>
  </resolution>
