Nippon Telegraph Telephone · Nilfs-Utils · CVE-2009-2657
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
nilfs-utils versions prior to 2.0.14
**Description**
The issue allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via the device string in a -c command line option to `mkfs.nilfs2()`. This is due to multiple programs being installed with unnecessary setuid privileges.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.0.14, update to version 2.0.14 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider removing setuid privileges from unnecessary programs to minimize the risk of exploitation.
