    An update that solves one vulnerability and has four fixes is now available.

    Description:


    ecryptfs-utils was updated to fix a security issue and some
    bugs.

    Security issue fixed: mount.ecryptfs_private did not set
    correct group ownerships when it modifies mtab
    (CVE-2011-3145).

    Also some bugs that made this set of tools non-working were
    fixed.

    You need to manually hand setuid root permissions to
    /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private if you want to use it as a
    non-root user.
