CVE-2007-0472  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 smb4k to version 0.8.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream smb4k package and not the smb4k package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple race conditions in Smb4K before 0.8.0 allow local users to (1) modify arbitrary files via unspecified manipulations of Smb4K's lock file, which is not properly handled by the remove_lock_file function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp, and (2) add lines to the sudoers file via a symlink attack on temporary files, which isn't properly handled by the writeFile function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp.
