Echo: util-linux: security update to 2.41.5-0+deb13u1+e2

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460579

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in util-linux. Restricted bind mounts take the source path from fstab but do not pin that
 source before the privileged mount. A local unprivileged user who can replace the authorized source or a
 writable ancestor can redirect SUID mount(8) to bind another host directory. If the fstab entry also sets
 X-mount.owner, X-mount.group, or X-mount.mode, root then changes ownership or mode on that redirected
 inode. (CVE-2026-78410)

Solution

Update the util-linux library and its related packages to version 2.41.5-0+deb13u1+e2 or later.
