Package: fuse Version: 2.9.8-2 Severity: wishlist File: /bin/fusermount (Note that this is wishlist, and will require some time and transition work.)
The new 4.18 kernel supports mounting FUSE filesystems as an unprivileged user, making the suid fusermount binary unnecessary on 4.18 and newer kernels. Thus, once Debian has such a kernel as the minimum requirement (in a future stable release), the fuse package could drop support for the suid fusermount helper. In the meantime, once a 4.18 kernel becomes available, it might make sense to make the suid permissions optional and disabled by default, with an option to enable them for compatibility with systems not yet running a 4.18 or newer kernel. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages fuse depends on: ii adduser 3.117 ii libc6 2.27-5 ii libfuse2 2.9.8-2 ii mount 2.32.1-0.1 ii sed 4.5-1 fuse recommends no packages. fuse suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
