Vulnerability: Race condition in the ecryptfs_mount function in fs/ecryptfs/main.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows local users to bypass intended file permissions via a mount.ecryptfs_private mount with a mismatched uid.
Vulnerability ID: CVE-2011-1833
CWE: CWE-264
Severity score: 4.9
Project: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
Published: 2012-10-03
File: fs/ecryptfs/main.c
Commit message: Ecryptfs: Add mount option to check uid of device being mounted = expect uid

Close a TOCTOU race for mounts done via ecryptfs-mount-private.  The mount
source (device) can be raced when the ownership test is done in userspace.
Provide Ecryptfs a means to force the uid check at mount time.
