  - A Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability was found in libblockdev. Generally, the allow_active
    setting in Polkit permits a physically present user to take certain actions based on the session type. Due
    to the way libblockdev interacts with the udisks daemon, an allow_active user on a system may be able
    escalate to full root privileges on the target host. Normally, udisks mounts user-provided filesystem
    images with security flags like nosuid and nodev to prevent privilege escalation. However, a local
    attacker can create a specially crafted XFS image containing a SUID-root shell, then trick udisks into
    resizing it. This mounts their malicious filesystem with root privileges, allowing them to execute their
    SUID-root shell and gain complete control of the system. (CVE-2025-6019)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
