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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fixes CVE-2008-2232: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2008-2232 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Aug 17 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway - 0.2-4 - fix CVS-2008-2232 * Fri Jul 24 2009 Fedora Release Engineering - 0.2-3 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
