## Description

The (1) ncpmount, (2) ncpumount, and (3) ncplogin programs in ncpfs 2.2.6
do not properly create lock files, which allows local users to cause a
denial of service (application failure) via unspecified vectors that
trigger the creation of a /etc/mtab~ file that persists after the program
exits.
