The writeFile function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp in Smb4K before 0.8.0 does not preserve /etc/sudoers permissions across modifications, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (/etc/sudoers contents) by reading this file.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
