This person should probably also check whether or not he/she has permission
to write to the appropriate part of the registry. I would assume yes if the
mounts exist once created, so this person would also need to check what's
happening with the registry file via auditing if possible.
As a minimum the person:
* would need permission to CreateSubkey on
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/ (or any of the appropriate subkeys if existing)
* would need permissions of QueryValue in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Cygnus Solutions/CYGWIN.DLL setup/b15.0/mounts/
* probably would need permission to EnumerateSubkeys in the above path.
