Mandriva Update for util-linux MDVSA-2012:083 (util-linux)

Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in util-linux: mount in util-linux 2.19 and earlier attempts to append to the /etc/mtab.tmp file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local users to trigger corruption of the /etc/mtab file via a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a related issue to CVE-2011-1089 (CVE-2011-1675). mount in util-linux 2.19 and earlier does not remove the /etc/mtab~ lock file after a failed attempt to add a mount entry, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors (CVE-2011-1677). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
Affected
util-linux on Mandriva Linux 2011.0, Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2, Mandriva Linux 2010.1
