util-linux: TOCTOU in the mount program when setting up loop devices

A flaw was found in util-linux. When an /etc/fstab entry is configured with the user,loop options, the mount program checks the file path with user permissions but later opens it with root privileges. This creates a brief Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use TOCTOU window where an attacker can substitute th...
