Software Description:
- fuse: Filesystem in Userspace
Details:
It was discovered that FUSE is susceptible to a restriction bypass flaw
on a system that has SELinux active. A local attacker with non-root
privileges could mount a FUSE file system that is accessible to other
users and trick them into accessing files on that file system, which
could result in a Denial of Service or other unspecified conditions.

package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 ESM:
fuse 2.9.4-1ubuntu3.1+esm1
