CVE-2011-1834

CVE-2011-1834 affects the ecryptfs-utils package, specifically the mount helper behavior in mount.ecryptfs_private.c. The root cause is improper handling of the mtab file during error conditions, which can allow a local user to cause a denial of service via table corruption or bypass intended unm...

CVE-2011-1832

CVE-2011-1832 affects ecryptfs-utils prior to version 90. A race condition in mount.ecryptfs_private’s mountpoint permission check could allow a local user to remove directories via an unmount call. The issue stems from inadequate validation before unmount/mount operations, enabling potential man...

CVE-2011-1835

The CVE-2011-1835 issue lies in ecryptfs-utils, specifically the encrypted private-directory setup path (utils/ecryptfs-setup-private) where the passphrase file may not be created correctly. This opens a local-privilige escalation risk by bypassing access restrictions during new-user creation ste...

CVE-2015-8946

Summary : CVE-2015-8946 affects the ecryptfs-utils package (eCryptfs) and its helper, specifically the swap setup in ecryptfs-setup-swap.
