NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mountall package and not the mountall package as distributed by Ubuntu.

mountall 1.54, as used in Ubuntu 14.10, does not properly handle the umask when using the mount utility, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified vectors.
