I suspect that in Ubuntu OVAL, the version of bsdutils, which is a
dependency package of util-linux, is mistakenly reported as the version of
the util-linux patch package.

The following CVEs are relevant:
CVE-2016-5011
CVE-2018-7738
CVE-2021-3995
CVE-2021-3996
CVE-2021-37600
CVE-2024-28085
https://security-metadata.canonical.com/oval/

For example, for CVE-2024-28085, the following are reported as the patch
packages:
util-linux 2.37.2-4ubuntu3.3 or higher
util-linux 1:2.37.2-4ubuntu3.3 or higher

util-linux 1:2.37.2-4ubuntu3.3 is a version that does not exist in
util-linux, could it be a version of bsdutils?
