Description

Multiple race conditions in Smb4K before 0.8.0 allow local users to (1) modify arbitrary files via unspecified manipulations of Smb4K's lock file, which is not properly handled by the remove_lock_file function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp, and (2) add lines to the sudoers file via a symlink attack on temporary files, which isn't properly handled by the writeFile function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp.

Affected products

Smb4K: 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7
