    upstream update, fixes security-related bugs

    CVE-2026-27456 - mount(8) TOCTOU symlink attack via loop device. The SUID mount follows symlinks when
    resolving loop backing file paths. On systems where non-root users are permitted to mount loop devices
    (via 'user' option in fstab), this allows access to arbitrary files.

    CWE-190 - Integer overflow in libblkid parse_dos_extended(). A crafted MBR disk image can cause uint32_t
    wraparound in EBR chain processing, causing reported partitions to not match the on-disk layout. Tools
    like udisks may then register a partition at logical sector 0.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

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