MDKSA-2005:216: fuse |

Check for the version of the fuse package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:216 (fuse). Thomas Beige found that fusermount failed to securely handle special characters specified in mount points, which could permit a local attacker to corrupt the contents of /etc/mtab by mounting over a maliciously-named directory using fusermount. This could potentially permit the attacker to set unauthorized mount options. This is only possible when fusermount is installed setuid root, which is the case in Mandriva Linux. The updated packages have been patched to address these problems.
