Fedora 22 upgrades fuse-encfs to version 1.8.1, fixing various encryption vulnerabilities and improving security functionalities.
Update to 1.8.1.

Summary

EncFS implements an encrypted filesystem in userspace using FUSE. FUSE

provides a Linux kernel module which allows virtual filesystems to be written

in userspace. EncFS encrypts all data and filenames in the filesystem and

passes access through to the underlying filesystem. Similar to CFS except that

it does not use NFS.
