Date Id Summary Products Score Patch Annotated
2022-08-23 CVE-2021-3996 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. Fedora, Util\-Linux 5.5
2023-08-22 CVE-2020-21583 An issue was discovered in hwclock.13-v2.27 allows attackers to gain escalated privlidges or execute arbitrary commands via the path parameter when setting the date. Util\-Linux 6.7
2021-07-30 CVE-2021-37600 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. Util\-Linux, Ontap_select_deploy_administration_utility 5.5
2001-12-31 CVE-2001-1494 script command in the util-linux package before 2.11n allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by setting a hardlink from the typescript log file to any file on the system, then having root execute the script command. Cvlan, Integrated_management_suit, Interactive_response, Intuity_lx, Message_networking, Messaging_storage_server, Util\-Linux 5.5
2022-02-21 CVE-2022-0563 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. Util\-Linux, Ontap_select_deploy_administration_utility 5.5
2022-08-23 CVE-2021-3995 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. Fedora, Util\-Linux 5.5
2007-10-04 CVE-2007-5191 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. Ubuntu_linux, Debian_linux, Fedora, Util\-Linux, Loop\-Aes\-Utils N/A
2017-03-31 CVE-2014-9114 Blkid in util-linux before 2.26rc-1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code. Fedora, Util\-Linux, Opensuse 7.8
2017-04-11 CVE-2016-5011 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. Power_hardware_management_console, Powerkvm, Util\-Linux, Enterprise_linux_desktop, Enterprise_linux_eus, Enterprise_linux_server, Enterprise_linux_server_aus, Enterprise_linux_server_tus, Enterprise_linux_workstation N/A
2017-08-23 CVE-2015-5224 The mkostemp function in login-utils in util-linux when used incorrectly allows remote attackers to cause file name collision and possibly other attacks. Util\-Linux N/A
