GHSA-r9hw-mj3w-phcq mknod: Device nodes created mislabeled on SELinux, with broken cleanup (remove_dir on a node)

• crates.io uu_mknod: < 0.6.0 → fixed in 0.6.0

uutils calls `mknod` *before* setting the SELinux context (GNU uses `setfscreatecon` first, labeling atomically). If `set_selinux_security_context` fails, cleanup uses `std::fs::remove_dir`, which cannot remove device nodes or FIFOs, leaving the mislabeled node behind. Impact: on SELinux-enforcing systems the node is created with the wrong context; the command reports failure but leaves a mislabeled device node that may bypass mandatory access control, and orphaned nodes can persist across reboots. Recommendation: use `setfscreatecon` before `mknod`, abort on failure, and use `remove_file` for cleanup.
