The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200511-15 (Smb4k: Local unauthorized file access)

A vulnerability leading to unauthorized file access has been     found. A pre-existing symlink from /tmp/sudoers and /tmp/super.tab to a     textfile will cause Smb4k to write the contents of these files to the     target of the symlink, as Smb4k does not check for the existence of     these files before writing to them.

Impact :

An attacker could acquire local privilege escalation by adding     username(s) to the list of sudoers.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
