Description

In fuse before versions 2.9.8 and 3.x before 3.2.5, fusermount is vulnerable to a restriction bypass when SELinux is active. This allows non-root users to mount a FUSE file system with the 'allow_other' mount option regardless of whether 'user_allow_other' is set in the fuse configuration. An attacker may use this flaw to mount a FUSE file system, accessible by other users, and trick them into accessing files on that file system, possibly causing Denial of Service or other unspecified effects.

Affected configurations

• debian debian linux 8.0 • debian debian linux 9.0 • fuse project fuse (< 2.9.8) • fuse project fuse (>= 3.0 < 3.2.5) • redhat enterprise linux desktop 7.0 • redhat enterprise linux server 7.0 • redhat enterprise linux workstation 7.0
