 Problem Description:
 
 The links web browser with smbclient installed allows 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.
