libfuse 2.9.8

on GitHub

Changes:

• SECURITY UPDATE: In previous versions of libfuse it was possible to for unprivileged users to specify the allow_other option even when this was forbidden in /etc/fuse.conf. The vulnerability is present only on systems where SELinux is active (including in permissive mode).
• libfuse no longer segfaults when fuse_interrupted() is called outside the event loop.
• The fusermount binary has been hardened in several ways to reduce potential attack surface. Most importantly, mountpoints and mount options must now match a hard-coded whitelist. It is expected that this whitelist covers all regular use-cases.
• Fixed rename deadlock on FreeBSD.
