USN-8702-1: util-linux vulnerabilities
Ubuntu's USN-8702-1 covers two util-linux flaws: CVE-2026-13595, a heap use-after-free in libblkid during nested partition probing, and a time-of-check-time-of-use in mount when it sets up loop devices. The first needs an attacker who can present a crafted block device image; the second is local.
