Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2009-08-04 19:26:31 UTC 
CVE-2009-2657 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2657):
  nilfs-utils before 2.0.14 installs multiple programs with unnecessary
  setuid privileges, which allows local users to execute arbitrary
  commands via the device string in a -c command line option to
  mkfs.nilfs2.
Comment 1 MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-04 22:32:31 UTC 
I had dropped setuid by files/nilfs-utils-2.0.12-gentoo.patch. I contacted to upstream and got an answer that it has no effect in gentoo.

cf.
https://www.nilfs.org/pipermail/users/2009-July/000826.html
> Users using a distro package do not suffer the problem because the
suid bit is dropped in that case.
Comment 2 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2009-08-04 23:33:56 UTC 
Ok, thanks & sorry! Closing INVALID.
