Binary package hint: mount

When mounting CIFS share you can read all mount options from /etc/mtab. This is major security risk if you are using shared network resources. Here is example of mine cifs mount information:

//192.168.1.10/Te****t /home/<username>/Mount/Te****t cifs rw,username=<username>,password=<password>,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000 0 0

I found this on Ubuntu 8.10 server and 9.10 desktop edition.

Could this one fix it :
