+    Teemu Salmela discovered that Links does not properly validate "smb://"
+    URLs when it runs smbclient commands.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to browse to a specially crafted
+    "smb://" URL and execute arbitrary Samba commands, which would allow
+    the overwriting of arbitrary local files or the upload or the download
+    of arbitrary files. This vulnerability can be exploited only if
+    "smbclient" is installed on the victim's computer, which is provided by
+    the "samba" Gentoo package.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Links users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/links-2.1_pre26&quot;</code>
