{"id":"CVE-2018-10906","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2018-10906","generatedAt":"2026-10-29T00:35:26.281Z","title":"In fuse before versions 2.9.8 and 3.x before 3.2.5, fusermount is vulnerable to a restriction bypass when SELinux is active.","description":"In fuse before versions 2.9.8 and 3.x before 3.2.5, fusermount is vulnerable to a restriction bypass when SELinux is active. This allows non-root users to mount a FUSE file system with the 'allow_other' mount option regardless of whether 'user_allow_other' is set in the fuse configuration. An attacker may use this flaw to mount a FUSE file system, accessible by other users, and trick them into accessing files on that file system, possibly causing Denial of Service or other unspecified effects.","published":"2018-07-24T20:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:34:53.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-285","CWE-269"],"affected":["debian/debian linux","fuse project/fuse","redhat/enterprise linux desktop","redhat/enterprise linux server","redhat/enterprise linux workstation"],"epss":{"score":0.01414,"percentile":0.726,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":true,"firstPublished":"2018-07-30","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":45106,"kind":"exploit","title":"fusermount - user_allow_other Restriction Bypass and SELinux Label Control","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/45106","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/linux/dos/45106.c","file":"exploits/linux/dos/45106.c","published":"2018-07-30","added":"2018-07-30","updated":"2018-07-30","author":"Google Security Research","type":"dos","platform":"linux","port":null,"verified":true,"codes":["CVE-2018-10906"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":"https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1616"}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"A public exploit is published in Exploit-DB (verified) and the impact is high, while EPSS rates exploitation at 1.4%.
