Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 2025.02.x] package/util-linux: fix loopdev nofollow patch
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 15:54:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507135455.980874-1-buildroot@bubu1.eu> (raw)
eeb65cf0f6753da6bc53197b971aec12ba647026 manually backported upstream
util-linux security fix (util-linux: 5e390467b26a3cf3fecc04e1a0d482dff3162fc4)
but didn't account for ul_canonicalize_path being named just canonicalize_path
in 2.40.x. Use the upstream backported patch from the 2.40.x maintenance
branch instead.
Fixes: eeb65cf0f6753da6bc53197b971aec12ba647026
