Fuse Security Vulnerabilities

CVE-2005-1858

FUSE 2.x before 2.3.0 does not properly clear previously used memory from unfilled pages when the filesystem returns a short byte count to a read request, which may allow local users to obtain sensitive information.

CVE-2010-0789

fusermount in FUSE before 2.7.5, and 2.8.x before 2.8.2, allows local users to unmount an arbitrary FUSE filesystem share via a symlink attack on a mountpoint.

CVE-2011-0541

fuse 2.8.5 and earlier does not properly handle when /etc/mtab cannot be updated, which allows local users to unmount arbitrary directories via a symlink attack.

CVE-2011-0542

fusermount in fuse 2.8.5 and earlier does not perform a chdir to / before performing a mount or umount, which allows local users to unmount arbitrary directories via unspecified vectors.

CVE-2011-0543

Certain legacy functionality in fusermount in fuse 2.8.5 and earlier, when util-linux does not support the --no-canonicalize option, allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and unmount arbitrary directories via a symlink attack.
