Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1241-01 - eCryptfs is a stacked, cryptographic file system. It is transparent to the underlying file system and provides per-file granularity. eCryptfs is released as a Technology Preview for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. The setuid mount.ecryptfs_private utility allows users to mount an eCryptfs file system. This utility can only be run by users in the "ecryptfs" group. A race condition flaw was found in the way mount.ecryptfs_private checked the permissions of a requested mount point when mounting an encrypted file system. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges by mounting over an arbitrary directory.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1196-1 - It was discovered that eCryptfs incorrectly handled permissions when modifying the mtab file. A local attacker could use this flaw to manipulate the mtab file, and possibly unmount arbitrary locations, leading to a denial of service.
