The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202009-16 (LinuxCIFS: Shell injection)
The mount.cifs utility had a shell injection issue where one can embed shell commands via the username mount option. Those commands will be run via popen() in the context of the user calling mount.
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to use a specially crafted argument using mount.cifs, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
