Statement
This issue did not affect the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 as they did not backport the upstream commit
59efec7b that introduced this issue. It did not affect the version of Linux
kernel as shipped with Red hat Enterprise MRG as it did not provide support
for Character device in Userspace (CUSE). A future kernel update in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 may address this flaw. Note that, by default, the
"/dev/cuse" file in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is only accessible by the
root user.
