** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released

** Description changed:

- Mount flags MNT_NOSUID, MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOEXEC, and the atime flags in
- addition to MNT_READONLY could be reset by less-privileged users when
- remounting filesystems.
+ fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does not properly
+ restrict clearing MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOSUID, and MNT_NOEXEC and changing
+ MNT_ATIME_MASK during a remount of a bind mount, which allows local
+ users to gain privileges, interfere with backups and auditing on systems
+ that had atime enabled, or cause a denial of service (excessive
+ filesystem updating) on systems that had atime disabled via a "mount -o
+ remount" command within a user namespace.
