Summary
util-linux vulnerability
Details

It was discovered that the umount bash completion script shipped in util-linux incorrectly handled certain mountpoints. If a local attacker were able to create arbitrary mountpoints, another user could be tricked into executing arbitrary code when attempting to run the umount command with bash completion.
