The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5055 advisory.

  • 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. (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 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. (CVE-2021-3995)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
