Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pam mount versions 0.10 through 0.45

Description The issue allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a local mount when luserconf is enabled, due to the lack of verification of mountpoint and source ownership before mounting a user-defined volume.

Recommendations For pam mount versions 0.10 through 0.45, consider disabling the luserconf option as a temporary workaround until a patch is available, to prevent local users from bypassing access restrictions.
