+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Teemu Salmela discovered an error in the validation code of "smb://"
+    URLs used by ELinks, the same issue as reported in GLSA 200612-16
+    concerning Links.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to browse to a specially crafted
+    "smb://" URL and execute arbitrary Samba commands, which would allow
+    the overwriting of arbitrary local files or the upload or download of
+    arbitrary files. This vulnerability can be exploited only if
+    "smbclient" is installed on the victim's computer, which is provided by
+    the "samba" Gentoo package.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All ELinks users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/elinks-0.11.2&quot;</code>
