|
Teemu Salmela discovered an error in the validation code of "smb://"
|
|
URLs used by ELinks, the same issue as reported in GLSA 200612-16
|
|
concerning Links.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to browse to a specially crafted
|
|
"smb://" URL and execute arbitrary Samba commands, which would allow
|
|
the overwriting of arbitrary local files or the upload or download of
|
|
arbitrary files. This vulnerability can be exploited only if
|
|
"smbclient" is installed on the victim's computer, which is provided by
|
|
the "samba" Gentoo package.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All ELinks users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/elinks-0.11.2"</code>
