[Bug 885027] Re: SUID Mount Helper has 5 Major Vulnerabilities

 

"I side with Kovid. I admire him for doing this app. Because ever since
Red Hat 7 or 8 I keep reading on the open source (not free software!)
forums something along the lines of „if you need it — go build it, now
p*** off as we're doing something cool”. He has gotten up and wrote this
which is quite unique at the moment. Also he bothers to keep it updated
quite often while most of the open source projects (including corporate
backed Open Office for example) stagnate."

Siddartha - I believe most of the problem was Kovid's handling the
remediations. I'm not familiar with Donenfeld (my apologies), but
Rosenberg is *often* credited with CVE's for his bug hunting abilities.
Check the next set of kernel patches - I would wager Rosenberg has three
or four to his credit.
