CVE-2007-0473  (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.

The writeFile function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp in Smb4K before 0.8.0 does not preserve /etc/sudoers permissions across modifications, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (/etc/sudoers contents) by reading this file.
