Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-06:16.smbfs.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:16.smbfs.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:16.smbfs.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
smbfs is a network file-system used to access file servers using the
SMB/CIFS protocol. chroot(2) is system call designed to limit a
process's access to a particular subset of a file-system.

smbfs does not properly sanitize paths containing a backslash
character. In particular the directory name '..\' is interpreted as
the parent directory by the SMB/CIFS server, but smbfs handles it in
the same manner as any other directory.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
