Subject: Re: [PATCH 18/19] fuse: Restrict allow_other to the superblock's
 namespace or a descendant

Quoting Seth Forshee (seth.forshee@...onical.com):
> Unprivileged users are normally restricted from mounting with the
> allow_other option by system policy, but this could be bypassed
> for a mount done with user namespace root permissions. In such
> cases allow_other should not allow users outside the userns
> to access the mount as doing so would give the unprivileged user
> the ability to manipulate processes it would otherwise be unable
> to manipulate. Restrict allow_other to apply to users in the same
> userns used at mount or a descendant of that namespace.
