Unknown · Util-Linux · CVE-2021-37600
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
util-linux versions through 2.37.1
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the util-linux package, specifically in the ipcutils.c file. This overflow can potentially cause a buffer overflow if an attacker is able to manipulate system resources in a way that leads to a large number in the /proc/sysvipc/sem file. However, it is noted that this issue is unexploitable in GNU C Library environments and possibly in all realistic environments.
**Recommendations**
For util-linux versions through 2.37.1, update to a version later than 2.37.1 to resolve the issue.
At the moment, there is no information about additional mitigation measures for this specific issue.
