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. (CVE-2016-5011)

Red Hat would like to thank Michael Gruhn for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Christian Moch as the original reporter.
