kernel is vulnerable to race condition. The vulnerability exists as a flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s eCryptfs implementation. A local attacker could use the mount.ecryptfs_private utility to mount (and then access) a irectory they would otherwise not have access to. Note: To correct this issue, the RHSA-2011:1241 ecryptfs-utils update, which provides the user-space part of the fix, must also be installed.
