CVE-2021-3995 2 Fedoraproject, Kernel 2 Fedora, Util-linux 2023-02-03 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
A logic error was found in the libmount library of util-linux in the function that allows an unprivileged user to unmount a FUSE filesystem. This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker to unmount FUSE filesystems that belong to certain other users who have a UID that is a prefix of the UID of the attacker in its string form. An attacker may use this flaw to cause a denial of service to applications that use the affected filesystems.
CVE-2021-3996 2 Fedoraproject, Kernel 2 Fedora, Util-linux 2023-01-26 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
A logic error was found in the libmount library of util-linux in the function that allows an unprivileged user to unmount a FUSE filesystem. This flaw allows a local user on a vulnerable system to unmount other users' filesystems that are either world-writable themselves (like /tmp) or mounted in a world-writable directory. An attacker may use this flaw to cause a denial of service to applications that use the affected filesystems.
CVE-2022-0563 2 Kernel, Netapp 2 Util-linux, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility 2022-06-03 1.9 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in the util-linux chfn and chsh utilities when compiled with Readline support. The Readline library uses an "INPUTRC" environment variable to get a path to the library config file. When the library cannot parse the specified file, it prints an error message containing data from the file. This flaw allows an unprivileged user to read root-owned files, potentially leading to privilege escalation. This flaw affects util-linux versions prior to 2.37.4.
CVE-2021-37600 2 Kernel, Netapp 2 Util-linux, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility 2021-10-18 1.2 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
** DISPUTED ** An integer overflow in util-linux through 2.37.1 can potentially cause a buffer overflow if an attacker were able to use system resources in a way that leads to a large number in the /proc/sysvipc/sem file. NOTE: this is unexploitable in GNU C Library environments, and possibly in all realistic environments.
CVE-2014-9114 3 Fedoraproject, Kernel, Opensuse 3 Fedora, Util-linux, Opensuse 2021-06-29 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Blkid in util-linux before 2.26rc-1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2007-5191 5 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 2 more 2020-11-04 7.2 HIGH N/A
mount and umount in util-linux and loop-aes-utils call the setuid and setgid functions in the wrong order and do not check the return values, which might allow attackers to gain privileges via helpers such as mount.nfs.
CVE-2018-7738 1 Kernel 1 Util-linux 2020-09-25 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
In util-linux before 2.32-rc1, bash-completion/umount allows local users to gain privileges by embedding shell commands in a mountpoint name, which is mishandled during a umount command (within Bash) by a different user, as demonstrated by logging in as root and entering umount followed by a tab character for autocompletion.
CVE-2016-5011 3 Ibm, Kernel, Redhat 9 Power Hardware Management Console, Powerkvm, Util-linux and 6 more 2020-09-11 4.9 MEDIUM 4.6 MEDIUM
The parse_dos_extended function in partitions/dos.c in the libblkid library in util-linux allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted MSDOS partition table with an extended partition boot record at zero offset.
CVE-2015-5224 1 Kernel 1 Util-linux 2020-09-11 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
The mkostemp function in login-utils in util-linux when used incorrectly allows remote attackers to cause file name collision and possibly other attacks.
CVE-2016-2779 1 Kernel 1 Util-linux 2019-01-04 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
runuser in util-linux allows local users to escape to the parent session via a crafted TIOCSTI ioctl call, which pushes characters to the terminal's input buffer.
CVE-2015-5218 3 Kernel, Opensuse, Opensuse Project 3 Util-linux, Opensuse, Leap 2018-10-30 2.1 LOW N/A
Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable.
CVE-2013-0157 1 Kernel 1 Util-linux 2014-01-22 2.1 LOW N/A
(a) mount and (b) umount in util-linux 2.14.1, 2.17.2, and probably other versions allow local users to determine the existence of restricted directories by (1) using the --guess-fstype command-line option or (2) attempting to mount a non-existent device, which generates different error messages depending on whether the directory exists.
