This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
The util-linux package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function.
A flaw was discovered in the way that the mount and umount utilities used the setuid and setgid functions, which could lead to privileges being dropped improperly. A local user could use this flaw to run mount helper applications such as, mount.nfs, with additional privileges (CVE-2007-5191).
Users are advised to update to these erratum packages which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
