Full title: Linux Kernel 3.16.1 FUSE Privilege Escalation Exploit 
Category: local exploits
Platform: linux
FUSE-based exploit that leverages a flaw in fs/namespace.c where it does not properly restrict clearing MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOSUID, and MNT_NOEXEC and changing MNT_ATIME_MASK during a remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to gain privileges. Linux kernels through 3.16.1 are affected.
