Samba, a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix, was found to contain a vulnerability whereby a local user could use the ‘smbmnt’ utility, which is setuid root, to mount a file share from a remote server which contained setuid programs under the control of the user.
These programs could then be executed to gain privileges on the local system.
