low Nessus Plugin ID 24779

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Umount allows local users to trigger a NULL dereference and application crash by invoking the program with a pathname for a USB pen drive that was mounted and then physically removed, which might allow the users to obtain sensitive information, including core file contents.

Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

Solution

Update the affected losetup, mount and / or util-linux packages.
