Description
New point version, and a security release
util-linux 2.37.4 Release Notes
===============================
This release fixes security issue in chsh(1) and chfn(8):
CVE-2022-0563
The readline library uses INPUTRC= environment variable to get a path
to the library config file. When the library cannot parse the
specified file, it prints an error message containing data from the
file.
Unfortunately, the library does not use secure_getenv() (or a similar
concept), or sanitize the config file path to avoid vulnerabilities that
could occur if set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs.
