CVE-2005-2851

	 A vulnerability leading to unauthorized file access has been found. A
	 pre-existing symlink from /tmp/sudoers and /tmp/super.tab to a textfile
	 will cause Smb4k to write the contents of these files to the target of the
	 symlink, as Smb4k does not check for the existence of these files before
	 writing to them.
