I unchecked the 'security vulnerability' flag because in my testing, it
doesn't actually allow more permissions to the user, it just looks like
it will.

That is, this is a display issue only.  fuse's umask seems to only
affect the display of the bits, it doesn't actually change them.

Thus, this bug is two-fold.  We can apply the patch to fix the display
issue (that is, use of umask will *look* like it works, rather than now,
where it looks like all hell broke loose).  But the underlying problem
that umask doesn't seem to actually do anything (in terms of changing
permissions to read/write) also should be addressed, otherwise what's
the point?

** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability
