This is old news. NFS is also affected by this CONFIGURATION PROBLEM (not a bug). What I think might be a problem is this: [...took_from_mount_man...] OPTIONS [...] nosuid Do not allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect. (This seems safe, but is in fact rather unsafe if you have suidperl(1) installed.) [...end_of_cut...] I have never tried to use suidperl to "exploit" such thing, but my guess is that suidperl somehow "see" the suid bit and can execute scripts set- uid-ing the process... or maybe the man mount page was just talking about some old suidperl bug... if someone knows, please tell me.
