Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: HP CIFS/9000 Client A.01.06 and earlier

Description: The issue concerns buffer overflows in the cifslogin command, which is based on the Sharity package. This allows local users to gain root privileges by exploiting long parameters, including (1) -U, (2) -D, (3) -P, (4) -S, (5) -N, or (6) -u.

Recommendations: For HP CIFS/9000 Client A.01.06 and earlier, consider restricting access to the cifslogin command until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using long parameters with the cifslogin command.
