Debian: DLA-1002-1 Moderate: Smb4k Logic Flaw Local Root Access

Sebastian Krahmer from SUSE discovered that smb4k, a Samba (SMB) share advanced browser, contains a logic flaw in which the mount helper binary does not properly verify the mount command it is being asked to run. . Hash: SHA512 Package : smb4k Version : 1.2.1-2~deb7u1 CVE ID : CVE-2017-8849 Debian Bug : 862505 Sebastian Krahmer from SUSE discovered that smb4k, a Samba (SMB) share advanced browser, contains a logic flaw in which the mount helper binary does not properly verify the mount command it is being asked to run.
