-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-6257 2012-04-20 02:22:47 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : cifs-utils Product : Fedora 17 Version : 5.4 Release : 1.fc17 URL : http://linux-cifs.samba.org/cifs-utils/ Summary : Utilities for mounting and managing CIFS mounts Description : The SMB/CIFS protocol is a standard file sharing protocol widely deployed on Microsoft Windows machines. This package contains tools for mounting shares on Linux using the SMB/CIFS protocol. The tools in this package work in conjunction with support in the kernel to allow one to mount a SMB/CIFS share onto a client and use it as if it were a standard Linux file system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
This updates the cifs-utils package to version 5.4, which contains a number of bugfixes and enhancements. Highlights include:
* mount.cifs now supports the -s option by passing "sloppy" to the kernel in the options string
* cifs.upcall now properly respects the domain_realm section in krb5.conf
* unprivileged users can no longer mount onto dirs into which they can't chdir (fixes CVE-2012-1586)
