Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-084 - ncpfs 2.2.6 and earlier attempts to use ncpmount to append to the /etc/mtab file and ncpumount to append to the /etc/mtab.tmp file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local users to trigger corruption of the /etc/mtab file via a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a related issue to CVE-2011-1089. ncpmount in ncpfs 2.2.6 and earlier does not remove the /etc/mtab~ lock file after a failed attempt to add a mount entry, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
