In SuSE-SA:2002:037 the advisory mentions the following problem:

The mount and umount program did not set their umask properly before creating the mtab file. Local attackers could abuse the mount program to put arbitrary content into the /etc/mtab file. New packages are available on our ftp servers which fix this problem. An update is                                     recommended. 

I did not find further references, but it would be great if you could have a look. Thanks.
