CVE-2018-12559 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity	+ High
Remote	+ Local
Type	+ Privilege escalation
Description	+ An issue was discovered in the cantata-mounter D-Bus service in Cantata through 2.3.1. The mount target path check in mounter.cpp `mpOk()` is insufficient. A regular user can consequently mount a CIFS filesystem anywhere (e.g., outside of the /home directory tree) by passing directory traversal sequences such as a home/../usr substring.
