The current version of the hardy kernel (2.6.24-19.34) still does not enforce the 'default permissions' mount option for fuse mounted filesystems.
I'm using glusterfs which relies upon the 'default permissions' option to do file mode checking, and at the moment any user can write in any directory, remove and overwrite files owned by root and generally wreak havoc. All that is needed to fix the bug is to remove the word 'int' from fs/fuse/dir.c around line 906 in the kernel, as described in the patch above Any chance of getting that patch merged into the hardy kernel? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: Fix Committed => In Progress -- DAC permissions not correctly enforced https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
