Secure testing team - Nov 2010 - Bug#602333: /usr/bin/fusermount: fusermount allows unmount any filesystem

Package: fuse-utils
Version: 2.7.4-1.1+lenny1
Severity: grave
File: /usr/bin/fusermount
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


As reported on a public mailing list, fusermount in Ubuntu allows
unprivileged users to unmount anything. I wonder if Debian is affected.
Relevant files attached below.

Cheers,
