Patch  oval:org.mitre.oval:def:8090
DSA-1450 util-linux -- programming error  

It was discovered that util-linux, miscellaneous system utilities, didn't drop privileged user and group permissions in the correct order in the mount and umount commands. This could potentially allow a local user to gain additional privileges.
