                Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           smb4k
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2005:157
 Date:                   September 6th, 2005

 Affected versions:      10.1, 10.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A severe security issue has been discovered in Smb4K. By linking a
 simple text file FILE to /tmp/smb4k.tmp or /tmp/sudoers, an attacker
 could get access to the full contents of the /etc/super.tab or
 /etc/sudoers file, respectively, because Smb4K didn't check for the
 existance of these files before writing any contents. When using super,
 the attack also resulted in /etc/super.tab being a symlink to FILE.
 
 Affected are all versions of the 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 series of Smb4K.
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
