Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Afuse, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application improperly sanitising filenames before using them in calls to "system()". This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands with escalated privileges by requesting a file with a specially crafted filename from a directory registered with Afuse for mounting.

The vulnerability is reported in version 0.2. Other versions may also be affected.
