The 'util-linux' package is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability that stems from a design error.

Exploiting this issue could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by using mount helpers such as the 'mount.nfs' application.

This vulnerability affects util-linux 2.12r; other versions may also be affected.
