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 in the cifs-utils
package included in the GA release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 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
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)
