Background ========== The LinuxCIFS utils are a collection of tools for managing Linux CIFS Client Filesystems. Affected packages ================= Package Vulnerable Unaffected ----------------- ------------ ------------ net-fs/cifs-utils < 6.15 > = 6.15 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in LinuxCIFS utils. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
