A flaw was found in the xfs_admin utility in xfsprogs. The tool does not properly validate user-supplied parameters, allowing operating system command injection. A local attacker can exploit this issue by providing crafted input arguments, which may result in arbitrary command execution and local privilege escalation depending on how xfs_admin is executed.
