fuse.conf is not readable by users

[Riccardo Pelizzi]

I have a couple of sshfs entries in my fstab, and i usually just use mount /home/user/sshfs/volume to mount them. Since i did a fresh install of oneiric i get this message:
fusermount: failed to open /etc/fuse.conf: Permission denied
fusermount: option allow_other only allowed if 'user_allow_other' is set in /etc/fuse.conf

note that user_allow_other is present in fuse.conf.
after changing fuse.conf's permissions as readable by all, i no longer get this error and i can mount sshfs volumes as a user.

Should have been fixed wt recent update:

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2015/CVE-2015-3202.html

Setting to status: "incomplete" as this version of Ubuntu is unsupported since awhile.

Thanks for reporting any way !

If you're not comfortable with this or you feel this bug is still valid, please feel free to reopen it.
