"According to the versions of the util-linux packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote
host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    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 with user privileges via fork()
    + setuid() + realpath(), but subsequently re-canonicalizes and opens it with root privileges (euid=0)
    without verifying that the path has not been replaced between both operations. Neither O_NOFOLLOW, nor
    inode comparison, nor post-open fstat() are employed. This allows a local unprivileged user to replace the
    source file with a symlink pointing to any root-owned file or device during the race window, causing the
    SUID binary to open and mount it as root. Exploitation requires an /etc/fstab entry with user,loop options
    whose path points to a directory where the attacker has write permission, and that /usr/bin/mount has the
    SUID bit set (the default configuration on virtually all Linux distributions). The impact is unauthorized
    read access to root-protected files and block devices, including backup images, disk volumes, and any file
    containing a valid filesystem. This issue has been patched in version 2.41.4.(CVE-2026-27456)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization util-linux security
advisory.

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