This issue was patched in ELSA-2011-1241.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ecryptfs-utils package and not the ecryptfs-utils package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

When mount.ecrpytfs_private before version 87-0ubuntu1.2 calls setreuid() it doesn't also set the effective group id. So when it creates the new version, mtab.tmp, it's created with the group id of the user running mount.ecryptfs_private.
