The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Among others, util-linux contains the fdisk configuration tool and the login program. Multiple flaws were found in the way the mount and umount commands performed mtab file updates. A local, unprivileged user allowed to mount or unmount file systems could use these flaws to corrupt the mtab file and create a stale lock file, preventing other users from mounting and unmounting file systems.
