How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 libmount1 to version 2.41.1-160000.5.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libmount1 package and not the libmount1 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

util-linux versions through 2.41.5 and 2.42.2 fail to check mount helper exit status before running post-mount hooks, allowing unprivileged users to execute privileged operations on pre-existing filesystems. Attackers can exploit X-mount.idmap or X-mount.owner hooks to clone filesystems with inherited suid bits or modify target inode permissions after a helper fails, achieving privilege escalation.
