Echo: util-linux: security update to 2.41.5-0+deb13u1+e1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460229

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - util-linux is a random collection of Linux utilities. Before util-linux 2.41.4, `parse_dos_extended()` in
 `libblkid/src/partitions/dos.c` computes an extended-partition start sector with 32-bit addition and does
 not apply the extended-area bounds checks to the first two EBR entries. A local attacker who causes a
 crafted DOS extended-partition disk image or removable medium to be probed can wrap `cur_start + start` to
 sector zero and cause libblkid to report a false partition overlapping the MBR. This directly compromises
 the integrity of the reported partition metadata; disk modification or availability loss requires a
 separate downstream consumer to act on that metadata. This issue is fixed in 2.41.4. (CVE-2026-53615)

Solution

Update the util-linux library and its related packages to version 2.41.5-0+deb13u1+e1 or later.
