Description
CVE-2022-27239:
In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.
CVE-2022-29869:

not a valid credentials file.
Both issues were originally reported and fixed by Jeffrey Bencteux.
