This can be configured. If you grant a group of users the right to
run mount.cifs as root by sudo, it's your fault if they mount
private dirs over other directories afterwards.

If you bypass the permissions to run mount.cifs by sudo on purpose -
there is no need to let mount.cifs check again the permissions.

A fix for what? This is not a bug.
