  <background>
    <p>The LinuxCIFS utils are a collection of tools for managing Linux CIFS
      Client Filesystems.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in cifskey.c or cifscreds.c
      in LinuxCIFS, as used in “pam_cifscreds.”
    </p>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an
      unspecified impact.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>Don’t use LinuxCIFS utils’ “cifscreds” PAM module. In Gentoo,
      LinuxCIFS utils’ PAM support is disabled by default unless the
      “pam” USE flag is enabled.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All LinuxCIFS utils users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-fs/cifs-utils-6.4"
    </code>
