OESA-2026-2885 (CVE-2026-13595)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2026-07-09 11:11 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:11 – Source website

Summary

util-linux security update

Details

The util-linux package contains a random collection of files that implements some low-level basic linux utilities.

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in the libblkid library of util-linux. During nested partition probing, the BSD, Minix, Solaris x86, and UnixWare partition probers cache a raw pointer to a parent partition entry in a dynamically allocated array. When subsequent partition additions cause the array to be reallocated, this pointer becomes stale, leading to a heap use-after-free read. An attacker who can present a crafted block device image (for example, via USB insertion or a loop-mounted disk image) can trigger this flaw without user interaction, as libblkid is invoked automatically by udev/udisks as root on block-device hot-plug events. This could lead to limited information disclosure or denial of service.(CVE-2026-13595)

Severity

6.8 (Medium)
