@Kovind: I understand your desire to maintain compatibility with environments that lack pmount as an option. How about adding support for pmount OR your mount helper, perhaps via a compiler directive? Make pmount the secure default; if a handful of people want to use Calibre in an environment that doesn't support pmount, they can change the directive and compile it themselves.
Forgive me if this proposal isn't a viable option; I am ignorant to the complexity of the task at hand. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885027 Title: SUID Mount Helper has 5 Major Vulnerabilities To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/885027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
