TITLE:
FUSE "fusermount" Race Condition Denial of Service

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38261

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38261/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in FUSE (File System in
Userspace), which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service).

The security issue is caused due to a race condition within the
"fusermount" utility when performing unmount operations, which can be
exploited to e.g. unmount arbitrary FUSE mounts via symlink attacks.

Note: Successful exploitation requires that the attacker is a member
of the "fuse" group.

The security issue is reported in versions prior to 2.7.5 or 2.8.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.7.5 or 2.8.2.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files/
