"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2012:0902 advisory.

    The cifs-utils package contains tools for mounting and managing shares on
    Linux using the SMB/CIFS protocol. The CIFS shares can be used as standard
    Linux file systems.

    A file existence disclosure flaw was found in mount.cifs. If the tool was
    installed with the setuid bit set, a local attacker could use this flaw to
    determine the existence of files or directories in directories not
    accessible to the attacker. (CVE-2012-1586)

    Note: mount.cifs from the cifs-utils package distributed by Red Hat does
    not have the setuid bit set. We recommend that administrators do not
    manually set the setuid bit for mount.cifs.

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * The cifs.mount(8) manual page was previously missing documentation for
    several mount options. With this update, the missing entries have been
    added to the manual page. (BZ#769923)

    * Previously, the mount.cifs utility did not properly update the
    /etc/mtab system information file when remounting an existing CIFS
    mount. Consequently, mount.cifs created a duplicate entry of the existing
    mount entry. This update adds the del_mtab() function to cifs.mount, which
    ensures that the old mount entry is removed from /etc/mtab before adding
    the updated mount entry. (BZ#770004)

    * The mount.cifs utility did not properly convert user and group names to
    numeric UIDs and GIDs. Therefore, when the uid, gid or cruid mount
    options were specified with user or group names, CIFS shares were mounted
    with default values. This caused shares to be inaccessible to the intended
    users because UID and GID is set to 0 by default. With this update, user
    and group names are properly converted so that CIFS shares are now mounted
    with specified user and group ownership as expected. (BZ#796463)

    * The cifs.upcall utility did not respect the domain_realm section in
    the krb5.conf file and worked only with the default domain.
    Consequently, an attempt to mount a CIFS share from a different than the
    default domain failed with the following error message:

        mount error(126): Required key not available

    This update modifies the underlying code so that cifs.upcall handles
    multiple Kerberos domains correctly and CIFS shares can now be mounted as
    expected in a multi-domain environment. (BZ#805490)

    In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

    * The cifs.upcall utility previously always used the /etc/krb5.conf file
    regardless of whether the user had specified a custom Kerberos
    configuration file. This update adds the --krb5conf option to
    cifs.upcall allowing the administrator to specify an alternate
    krb5.conf file. For more information on this option, refer to the
    cifs.upcall(8) manual page. (BZ#748756)

    * The cifs.upcall utility did not optimally determine the correct service
    principal name (SPN) used for Kerberos authentication, which occasionally
    caused krb5 authentication to fail when mounting a server's unqualified
    domain name. This update improves cifs.upcall so that the method used to
    determine the SPN is now more versatile. (BZ#748757)

    * This update adds the backupuid and backupgid mount options to the
    mount.cifs utility. When specified, these options grant a user or a group
    the right to access files with the backup intent. For more information on
    these options, refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page. (BZ#806337)

    All users of cifs-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
    which contains backported patches to fix these issues and add these
    enhancements.
