"According to the versions of the util-linux packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote
host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
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-2025-14104)
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-2026-3184)
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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
