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

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 465290

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. In util-linux 2.39.1 through 2.41.4 and 2.42 through
 2.42.1, the SUID `mount` utility reads the attacker-controlled `LIBMOUNT_FORCE_MOUNT2` environment
 variable with `getenv()`, allowing a local low-privileged user to force the non-atomic legacy bind-mount
 path. With an `/etc/fstab` bind mount authorized by `user` or `users` and protected by `nosuid`, `noexec`,
 or `nodev`, an attacker can race the window between the initial bind mount and the remount that applies
 those security flags and execute a SUID program from the temporarily unprotected mount, potentially
 gaining root privileges. This issue is fixed in 2.41.5 and 2.42.2. (CVE-2026-53614)

Solution

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