Hi,
I tested that /lib/freebsd/mount (for which /bin/mount is wrapper
script) does accept a user-specified PATH when looking for a helper to
execute. But fortunately it is not setuid (at least on my own Squeeze
installation).
If anyone allows the use of sudo for /bin/mount, that should reset the
environment to something sane, so they should not be at risk.

I see that upstream previously searched /sbin then /usr/sbin, before
rewriting it to use execvP with _PATH_SYSPATH which is
"/rescue:/sbin:/usr/sbin".
