Ein lokaler Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in util-linux ausnutzen, um seine Privilegien zu erhöhen.

Editorial Analysis

Why it matters

util-linux's near-universal presence in Linux systems makes this a supply-chain-scale issue; unpatched containers could propagate the flaw across environments.

What to do

Update util-linux across the fleet, rebuild all container base images, and add the CVE to image-admission policies.
