Title:
  /etb/mtab shows cifs mount options usernames and password

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “util-linux” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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 :
