- CVE-2018-10906: fusermount was vulnerable to a restriction bypass when

 the 'allow_other' mount option regardless of whether 'user_allow_other' is set
 in the fuse configuration. An attacker may use this flaw to mount a FUSE file
 system, accessible by other users, and trick them into accessing files on that
 file system, possibly causing Denial of Service or other unspecified effects
