encryptfs-utils is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A race condition flaw was found in the way mount.ecryptfs_private checked the permissions of a requested mount point when mounting an encrypted file system. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges by mounting over an arbitrary directory.
