Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2018.0314
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2018-0314)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'cantata' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0314 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'cantata' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0314 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The mount target path check in mounter.cpp 'mpOk()' is insufficient. A
regular user can this way mount a CIFS filesystem anywhere, and not just
beneath /home by passing relative path components (CVE-2018-12559).

Arbitrary unmounts can be performed by regular users the same way
(CVE-2018-12560).

A regular user can inject additional mount options like file_mode= by
manipulating e.g. the domain parameter of the samba URL (CVE-2018-12561).

The wrapper script 'mount.cifs.wrapper' uses the shell to forward the
arguments to the actual mount.cifs binary. The shell evaluates wildcards
which can also be injected (CVE-2018-12562).

To fix these issues, the vulnerable D-Bus service has been removed.

Affected Software/OS:
'cantata' package(s) on Mageia 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
