    <p>Smb4k contains a logic flaw in which mount helper binary does not
      properly verify the mount command it is being asked to run.
    </p>

    <p>A local user can execute commands with the root privilege due to the
      mount helper being installed as suid.

  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Smb4K users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/smb4k-1.2.3-r1:4"
    </code>
