(a) mount and (b) umount in util-linux 2.14.1, 2.17.2, and probably other versions allow local users to determine the existence of restricted directories by (1) using the --guess-fstype command-line option or (2) attempting to mount a non-existent device, which generates different error messages depending on whether the directory exists.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-0157 is a local information disclosure issue in util-linux mount and umount. A local user may infer whether restricted directories exist from differing error messages. This does not describe remote compromise, privilege escalation, or data theft, but it can reveal filesystem structure that should otherwise remain hidden. Exposure is most likely on Linux systems with local user access and affected util-linux mount or umount builds. The bundle names util-linux 2.14.1, 2.17.2, and probably other versions, with Debian, Red Hat, and Mandriva references indicating distribution relevance. Treat as low urgency unless the environment has many untrusted local users or sensitive hidden directory names. Fold remediation into normal Linux patching and hardening, while prioritizing internet-facing or privilege-escalation vulnerabilities first. Mitigation focus: Check vendor advisories for fixed util-linux packages.; Update affected util-linux packages through supported distribution channels.; Limit unnecessary local shell access on multi-user systems..
