CVE-2009-2031 results from a violation of this recommendation. OpenSolaris, in smbfs snv_84 through snv_110, sets permissions based on mount-point options and not actual user information (obtained from the getuid() and getgid() functions). An attacker can exploit this to achieve higher permissions.
