An update for util-linux is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link (s) in the References section.
The util-linux packages contain a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among others, these include the fdisk configuration tool and the login program.
Security Fix(es) :
Red Hat would like to thank Michael Gruhn for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Christian Moch as the original reporter.
Additional Changes :

"An update for util-linux is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base

vulnerability from the CVE link (s) in the References section.
The util-linux packages contain a large variety of low-level system
utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among
others, these include the fdisk configuration tool and the login
program.
Security Fix(es) :
* It was found that util-linux's libblkid library did not properly
handle Extended Boot Record (EBR) partitions when reading MS-DOS
partition tables. An attacker with physical USB access to a protected
machine could insert a storage device with a specially crafted
partition table that could, for example, trigger an infinite loop in
systemd-udevd, resulting in a denial of service on that machine.
