Package        : util-linux
CVE ID         : CVE-2024-28085
Debian Bug     : 1067849

Skyler Ferrante discovered that the wall tool from util-linux does not
properly handle escape sequences from command line arguments. A local
attacker can take advantage of this flaw for information disclosure.

With this update wall and write are not anymore installed with setgid
tty.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.36.1-8+deb11u2.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.38.1-5+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your util-linux packages.
