(FUSE: incorrect filtering of environment variables leading to privilege escalation)

    The fusermount binary calls setuid(geteuid()) to reset the RUID when it
      invokes /bin/mount so that it can use privileged mount options that are
      normally restricted if RUID != EUID.  FUSE does not properly clear
      environment variables before invoking mount or umount as root allowing
      this to be passed to operations using elevated privileges such as
      LIBMOUNT_MTAB that is used by the mount commands debugging feature.
  
Impact :

    The FUSE vulnerability allows a local, unprivileged user to overwrite
      arbitrary files on the system.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known work around at this time."
