Hello,

I've discovered a possible security issue with mount and I was wondering 
where I should report it.

Thank you,

  mount(2) syscall           --> linux kernel list
  mount(8) command line util --> this list

and really ugly security bugs are usually reported privately (rather
than on mailing lists), so maintainers have time to fix distributions
before the thing is public.
