Description
It was found that SWAT web pages did not protect against Cross-Site
Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. If a remote attacker could trick a user,
who was logged into the SWAT interface, into visiting a specially-crafted
URL, the attacker could perform Samba configuration changes with the
privileges of the logged in user. (CVE-2011-2522)
It was found that the fix for CVE-2010-0547, provided by the Samba rebase
in RHBA-2011:0054, was incomplete. The mount.cifs tool did not properly
handle share or directory names containing a newline character, allowing a
local attacker to corrupt the mtab (mounted file systems table) file via a
specially-crafted CIFS (Common Internet File System) share mount request,
if mount.cifs had the setuid bit set. (CVE-2011-2724)
It was found that the mount.cifs tool did not handle certain errors
correctly when updating the mtab file. If mount.cifs had the setuid bit
set, a local attacker could corrupt the mtab file by setting a small file
size limit before running mount.cifs. (CVE-2011-1678)
