(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."

simple text file FILE to /tmp/smb4k.tmp or /tmp/sudoers, an attacker
could get access to the full contents of the /etc/super.tab or
/etc/sudoers file, respectively, because Smb4K didn't check for the
existance of these files before writing any contents. When using
super, the attack also resulted in /etc/super.tab being a symlink to
FILE.

Affected are all versions of the 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 series of Smb4K.
