-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2026-67cf3d6cca 2026-04-25 01:21:36.171645+00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : util-linux Product : Fedora 44 Version : 2.41.4 Release : 7.fc44 URL : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Util-linux Summary : Collection of basic system utilities Description : The util-linux package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among others, util-linux contains the fdisk configuration tool and the login program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: upstream update, fixes security-related bugs CVE-2026-27456 - mount(8) TOCTOU symlink attack via loop device. The SUID mount follows symlinks when resolving loop backing file paths. On systems where non- root users are permitted to mount loop devices (via 'user' option in fstab), this allows access to arbitrary files. CWE-190 - Integer overflow in libblkid parse_dos_extended(). A crafted MBR disk image can cause uint32_t wraparound in EBR chain processing, causing reported partitions to not match the on-disk layout. Tools like udisks may then register a partition at logical sector 0. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Apr 1 2026 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> - 2.41.4-7 - upgrade to upstream release v2.41.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
