Fedora 24 FEDORA-2016-22b180fb43 Moderate: Fuse-EncFS Security Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey April 5, 2016
Scroller Fedora
The latest update for Fedora, version 1.8.1, introduces improved encryption and security capabilities for fuse-encfs filesystems.
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.
