Calibre Assault Mount
Calibre uses a suid mount helper, and like nearly all suid mount helpers that have come before it, it's badly broken. It allows an attacker to create a directory owned by root anywhere they want, remove any empty directory they want, create and remove anything_we_want/.some_stupid_marker, unmount and eject any device that they want (as root), as well as mount any vfat filesystem that they'd like. It also allows an attacker to pass params directly to mount, to some degree, and control argv[1] to some degree.
Mitigation:
The vendor should update the mount helper to fix the vulnerability.
