CESA-2017:0907 -- centos 7 util-linux

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:204474Date: (C)2017-04-14   (M)2022-10-10
Class: PATCHFamily: unix




The util-linux packages contain a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among others, these include the fdisk configuration tool and the login program. Security Fix: * A race condition was found in the way su handled the management of child processes. A local authenticated attacker could use this flaw to kill other processes with root privileges under specific conditions. Red Hat would like to thank Tobias Stockmann for reporting this issue. Bug Fix: * The "findmnt --target <path>" command prints all file systems where the mount point directory is <path>. Previously, when used in the chroot environment, "findmnt --target <path>" incorrectly displayed all mount points. The command has been fixed so that it now checks the mount point path and returns information only for the relevant mount point
