The writeFile function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp in Smb4K before 0.8.0 does not preserve /etc/sudoers permissions across modifications, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (/etc/sudoers contents) by reading this file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-0473 is a local information disclosure issue in Smb4K before 0.8.0. When Smb4K modified /etc/sudoers, it did not preserve that file's permissions, potentially letting local users read sudo configuration details. This is not described as remote compromise, but it can expose privilege-management information. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems with Smb4K installed below version 0.8.0, especially where it was configured to modify /etc/sudoers. Modern supported distributions are less likely to be affected, but confirm package history before dismissing old systems. Treat this as a legacy local exposure issue, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize remediation where old Linux workstations or servers still allow local users and retain Smb4K below 0.8.0. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Smb4K to version 0.8.0 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant distribution security updates from SUSE, Gentoo, Mandriva, or your vendor.; Remove Smb4K from systems where it is no longer required..
