Fedora 23: FEDORA-2016-858277b967 critical: fuse-encfs Update

fedora
Calendar Grey April 9, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Boost your system’s protection with the latest fuse-encfs upgrade for Fedora 23, which enhances encrypted filesystems while addressing essential bug fixes.
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.

Update Information:

Update to 1.8.1.
