Description Thomas-Martin Seck 2002-09-11 09:40:01 UTC 
Non-root users may be privileged to issue calls to mount(2) by setting the
sysctl vfs.usermount to a nonzero value. Neither this nor the implicit
restrictions (user must own mount point, the nosuid and nodev option are
always set) are documented in mount(2) or mount(8).

Fix: I suggest the following patches (BTW, mount(8) nowadays uses the term
"file system" while mount(2) still uses "filesystem"):
How-To-Repeat: n/a

Suggested fix applied in rev 1.33 (mount(2)) and 1.54 (mount(8)),
