Debian Linux Security Advisory 3266-1 - Tavis Ormandy discovered that FUSE, a Filesystem in Userspace, does not scrub the environment before executing mount or umount with elevated privileges. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to overwrite arbitrary files and gain elevated privileges by accessing debugging features via the environment that would not normally be safe for unprivileged users.

Tavis Ormandy discovered that FUSE, a Filesystem in USErspace, does not
scrub the environment before executing mount or umount with elevated
privileges. A local user can take advantage of this flaw to overwrite
arbitrary files and gain elevated privileges by accessing debugging
features via the environment that would not normally be safe for
unprivileged users.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.9.0-2+deb7u2.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.9.3-15+deb8u1.
