It is done. One actually cool byproduct which I'd hadn't thought of before (although it is quite obvious) is the ability to mount suspicious file system images using non-kernel code. I am suspecting it would be quite easy to construct a file system image so that if mounted it would compromise the host kernel. As the usual usecase is being handed a usb stick with fat on it, I converted rump_msdos to have the same syntax as mount_msdos by sharing the option parsing code. It should be possible to use them entirely interchangeably, except the former will of course only compromise the integrity of the file server process. |
