CVE-2026-3184 3 Kernel, Linux, Redhat 7 Util-linux, Util-linux, Enterprise Linux and 4 more 2026-11-06 3.7 Low
A flaw was found in util-linux. Improper hostname canonicalization in the `login(1)` utility, when invoked with the `-h` option, can modify the supplied remote hostname before setting `PAM_RHOST`. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted hostname, potentially bypassing host-based Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) access control rules that rely on fully qualified domain names. This could lead to unauthorized access.
CVE-2026-13595 3 Kernel, Linux, Redhat 10 Util-linux, Util-linux, Cost Management On Premise and 7 more 2026-11-06 6.8 Medium
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 array to be reallocated, this pointer becomes stale, leading to a heap use-after-free read. An attacker who can present a crafted block device image (for example, via USB insertion or a loop-mounted disk image) can trigger this flaw without user interaction, as libblkid is invoked automatically by udev/udisks as root on block-device hot-plug events. This could lead to limited information disclosure or denial of service.
CVE-2007-5191 6 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 3 more 6 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 3 more 2026-04-23 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-2001-1494 3 Avaya, Kernel, Redhat 8 Cvlan, Integrated Management Suit, Interactive Response and 5 more 2026-04-16 5.5 Medium
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.
CVE-2014-9114 3 Fedoraproject, Kernel, Opensuse 3 Fedora, Util-linux, Opensuse 2025-12-04 7.8 High
Blkid in util-linux before 2.26rc-1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2015-5224 1 Kernel 1 Util-linux 2025-12-04 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 2025-04-20 N/A
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-2016-5011 3 Ibm, Kernel, Redhat 10 Power Hardware Management Console, Powerkvm, Util-linux and 7 more 2025-04-20 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-2015-5218 3 Kernel, Opensuse, Opensuse Project 3 Util-linux, Opensuse, Leap 2025-04-12 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 2 Kernel, Redhat 2 Util-linux, Enterprise Linux 2025-04-11 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.
CVE-2020-21583 1 Kernel 1 Util-linux 2024-12-20 6.7 Medium
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.
CVE-2018-7738 1 Kernel 1 Util-linux 2024-12-13 N/A
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.
