Summary
=======

A NULL dereference  in  umount  can  result  in  sensitive  information 
disclosure 


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. 

Affected packages:

    util-linux, all before 2.13_pre7


Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for util-linux. You can  update  them  via  Package 
Manager or with a single command from console:
