| CVE-2015-5224 | Cri | 0.57 | 9.8 | 0.05 | Aug 23, 2017 | 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-2026-78410 | Hig | 0.51 | 7.8 | 0.00 | Sep 2, 2026 | A flaw was found in util-linux. Restricted bind mounts take the source path from fstab but do not pin that source before the privileged mount. A local unprivileged user who can replace the authorized source or a writable ancestor can redirect SUID mount(8) to bind another host… | ||
| CVE-2018-7738 | Hig | 0.51 | 7.8 | 0.00 | Mar 7, 2018 | 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… | ||
| CVE-2026-78409 | Hig | 0.45 | 7.0 | 0.00 | Sep 2, 2026 | The X-mount.subdir option uses a detached-tree fast path on Linux 6.15 and later and passes the configured subdirectory to open_tree() with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW. That flag does not stop intermediate symlink traversal or keep resolution inside the newly mounted filesystem. A local… | ||
| CVE-2026-76642 | Hig | 0.44 | 7.8 | 0.00 | Sep 3, 2026 | util-linux versions through 2.41.5 and 2.42.2 fail to check mount helper exit status before running post-mount hooks, allowing unprivileged users to execute privileged operations on pre-existing filesystems. Attackers can exploit X-mount.idmap or X-mount.owner hooks to clone… | ||
| CVE-2026-78408 | Hig | 0.44 | 7.9 | 0.00 | Sep 2, 2026 | The nsenter --join-cgroup option opens the target cgroup.procs file as root and leaves that file descriptor open across later namespace and credential changes and across execve(). Because the kernel checks later cgroup migrations using the credentials from the original open, a… | ||
| CVE-2025-14104 | Med | 0.40 | 6.1 | 0.00 | Dec 5, 2025 | A flaw was found in util-linux. This vulnerability allows a heap buffer overread when processing 256-byte usernames, specifically within the `setpwnam()` function, affecting SUID (Set User ID) login-utils utilities writing to the password database. | ||
| CVE-2026-13595 | Med | 0.37 | 6.8 | 0.00 | Jun 29, 2026 | A flaw was found in the libblkid library of util-linux. During nested partition probing, the BSD, Minix, Solaris x86, and UnixWare partition probers cache a raw pointer to a parent partition entry in a dynamically allocated array. When subsequent partition additions cause the… | ||
| CVE-2021-3995 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.01 | Aug 23, 2022 | 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… | ||
| CVE-2022-0563 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Feb 21, 2022 | 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… | ||
| CVE-2021-37600 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.01 | Jul 30, 2021 | 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… | ||
| CVE-2026-27456 | Med | 0.24 | 4.7 | 0.00 | Apr 3, 2026 | util-linux is a random collection of Linux utilities. Prior to version 2.41.4, a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use) vulnerability has been identified in the SUID binary /usr/bin/mount from util-linux. The mount binary, when setting up loop devices, validates the source file path… | ||
| CVE-2024-28085 | Low | 0.15 | 3.3 | 0.02 | Mar 27, 2024 | wall in util-linux through 2.40, often installed with setgid tty permissions, allows escape sequences to be sent to other users' terminals through argv. (Specifically, escape sequences received from stdin are blocked, but escape sequences received from argv are not blocked.)… | ||
| CVE-1999-0661 | 0.07 | — | 0.54 | Jan 1, 1999 | A system is running a version of software that was replaced with a Trojan Horse at one of its distribution points, such as (1) TCP Wrappers 7.6, (2) util-linux 2.9g, (3) wuarchive ftpd (wuftpd) 2.2 and 2.1f, (4) IRC client (ircII) ircII 2.2.9, (5) OpenSSH 3.4p1, or (6) Sendmail… | |||
| CVE-2015-5218 | 0.00 | — | 0.01 | Nov 9, 2015 | 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 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Jan 21, 2014 | (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… | |||
| CVE-2011-1677 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Apr 10, 2011 | mount in util-linux 2.19 and earlier does not remove the /etc/mtab~ lock file after a failed attempt to add a mount entry, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors. | |||
| CVE-2011-1676 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Apr 10, 2011 | mount in util-linux 2.19 and earlier does not remove the /etc/mtab.tmp file after a failed attempt to add a mount entry, which allows local users to trigger corruption of the /etc/mtab file via multiple invocations. | |||
| CVE-2011-1675 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Apr 10, 2011 | mount in util-linux 2.19 and earlier attempts to append to the /etc/mtab.tmp file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local users to trigger corruption of the /etc/mtab file via a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a related issue… | |||
| CVE-2008-1926 | 0.00 | — | 0.04 | Apr 24, 2008 | Argument injection vulnerability in login (login-utils/login.c) in util-linux-ng 2.14 and earlier makes it easier for remote attackers to hide activities by modifying portions of log events, as demonstrated by appending an "addr=" statement to the login name, aka "audit log… |
