Debian DSA-463-1 : samba - privilege escalation

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...

SUSE-SA:2002:032: xf86

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2002:032 xf86. The xf86 package contains various libraries and programs which are fundamental for the X server to function. The libX11.so library from this package dynamically loads other libraries where the pathname is controlled by t...

CVE-2004-0186

smbmnt in Samba 2.x and 3.x on Linux 2.6, when installed setuid, allows local users to gain root privileges by mounting a Samba share that contains a setuid root program, whose setuid attributes are not cleared when the share is mounted...
