Calendar Grey August 20, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
This patch addresses a vulnerability within the afuse module, improving the functionalities and security features of Fedora 10's file management system.
Fixes CVE-2008-2232: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2008-2232

Summary

Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using FUSE.

Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can be expected

by an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual directories. If

one of these virtual directories is accessed and is not already automounted,

afuse will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount

succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will fail

with an error.
