MGASA-2012-0339 Date: November 23rd, 2012 Affected releases: 1 Description: Updated fuse packages fix security vulnerabilities: Multiple flaws were found in the way fusermount handled the mounting and unmounting of directories when symbolic links were present. A local user in the fuse group could use these flaws to unmount file systems, which they would otherwise not be able to unmount and that were not mounted using FUSE, via a symbolic link attack (CVE-2010-3879, CVE-2011-0541, CVE-2011-0542, CVE-2011-0543). Updated Packages: fuse-2.8.5-1.1.mga1 lib(64)fuse2-2.8.5-1.1.mga1 lib(64)fuse-devel-2.8.5-1.1.mga1 lib(64)fuse-static-devel-2.8.5-1.1.mga1 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-3879 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-0541 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-0542 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-0543 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-1083.html https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7063 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2012-...
