Check for the version of the links package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:216 (links). The links web browser with smbclient installed permits remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in an smb:// URI, as demonstrated by using PUT and GET statements. Corporate 3.0 is not affected by this issue, as that version of links does not have smb:// URI support. Updated packages have disabled access to smb:// URIs.
