[PATCH v2 10/11] fuse: allow splicing from filesystems mounted by real root

From: Ahelenia Ziemiańska
Date: Wed Dec 20 2023 - 22:12:25 EST


FUSE tends to be installed suid 0: this allows normal users to mount
anything, including a program whose read implementation consists
of for(;;) sleep(1);, which, if splice were allowed, would sleep
forever with the pipe lock held.

Normal filesystems can only be mounted by root, and are thus deemed
safe. Extend this to when root mounts a FUSE filesystem with an
explicit check.
