Since upstream doesn't consider this to be a bug, I'm closing this issue. ** Changed in: fuse (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- fuse does not handle umask correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 239792] Re: fuse does not handle umask correctly
I asked the fuse mailing list about this. Here is their answer (interspersed with my initial email): """ > '-o umask=' seems to: > (A) have an odd display bug because of a missing ampersand (see [1]) and It's a feature not a bug. Notice, how other filesystems like msdos also use -oumask mount option in this sense. > (B) not actually affect the permissions of the fuse user. That is, a > umask of 444 will (with or without the display bug fixed) still allow > the fuse user the same exact read permissions as the underlying file > would. That is also a feature. Unless the '-odefault_permissions' option is given the filesystem is responsible for permission checking (which sshfs duly does: you can only access the filesystem according to your permissions on the server side). """ Are they right, that the umask usage is appropriate? If so, I guess there's no bug? -- fuse does not handle umask correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 239792] Re: fuse does not handle umask correctly
I unchecked the 'security vulnerability' flag because in my testing, it doesn't actually allow more permissions to the user, it just looks like it will. That is, this is a display issue only. fuse's umask seems to only affect the display of the bits, it doesn't actually change them. Thus, this bug is two-fold. We can apply the patch to fix the display issue (that is, use of umask will *look* like it works, rather than now, where it looks like all hell broke loose). But the underlying problem that umask doesn't seem to actually do anything (in terms of changing permissions to read/write) also should be addressed, otherwise what's the point? ** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability -- fuse does not handle umask correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 239792] Re: fuse does not handle umask correctly
I see the behaviour using sshfs and umask=002, with no other option passed to sshfs. 1) All remote files appear locally with incorrect permissions, most annoyingly with the +x flag. 2) Touching files creates them remotely as 644 instead of 664. -- fuse does not handle umask correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 239792] Re: fuse does not handle umask correctly
The attached patch fixes the wrong displayed permission problem, but does not fix the wrong creation flags. Setting the local umask to 002 too, besides being something I'd like to avoid, does not change the behaviour. -- fuse does not handle umask correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I don't see this behavior.
