eCryptfs is released as a Technology Preview for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.4. These updated ecryptfs-utils packages have been upgraded to upstream
version 75, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the
previous version. In addition, these packages provide a graphical program
to help configure and use eCryptfs. To start this program, run the command:
ecryptfs-mount-helper-gui
Important: the syntax of certain eCryptfs mount options has changed. Users
who were previously using the initial Technology Preview release of
ecryptfs-utils are advised to refer to the ecryptfs(7) man page, and to
update any affected mount scripts and /etc/fstab entries for eCryptfs file
systems.
A disclosure flaw was found in the way the 'ecryptfs-setup-private' script
passed passphrases to the 'ecryptfs-wrap-passphrase' and
'ecryptfs-add-passphrase' commands as command line arguments. A local user
could obtain the passphrases of other users who were running the script
from the process listing. (CVE-2008-5188)
These updated packages provide various enhancements, including a mount
helper and supporting libraries to perform key management and mounting
functions.
Notable enhancements include:
* a new package, ecryptfs-utils-gui, has been added to this update. This
package depends on the pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade packages and provides the
eCryptfs Mount Helper GUI program. To install the GUI, first install
ecryptfs-utils and then issue the following command:
yum install ecryptfs-utils-gui
(BZ#500997)
* the 'ecryptfs-rewrite-file' utility is now more intelligent when dealing
with non-existent files and with filtering special files such as the '.'
directory. In addition, the progress output from 'ecryptfs-rewrite-file'
has been improved and is now more explicit about the success status of each
target. (BZ#500813)
* descriptions of the 'verbose' flag and the 'verbosity=[x]' option, where
[x] is either 0 or 1, were missing from a number of eCryptfs manual pages,
and have been added. Refer to the eCryptfs man pages for important
information regarding using the verbose and/or verbosity options.
(BZ#470444)
These updated packages also fix the following bugs:
* mounting a directory using the eCryptfs mount helper with an RSA key that
was too small did not allow the eCryptfs mou ...
