NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream util-linux package and not the util-linux package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

(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.
