    An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available.

    Description:

    util-linux was updated to fix one security issue.

    This security issue was fixed:
    - CVE-2014-9114: Using crafted block devices (e.g. USB sticks) it was
    possibly to inject code via libblkid. libblkid was fixed to care about
    unsafe chars and possible buffer overflow in cache (bnc#907434)

    This non-security issue was fixed:
    - libblkid: Reset errno in blkid_probe_get_buffer() to prevent failing
    probes (e. g. for exFAT) (bnc#908742).
