| Description: | The util-linux packages contain a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among others, these include the fdisk configuration tool and the login program.
Security Fix(es):
A race condition was found in the way su handled the management of child processes. A local authenticated attacker could use this flaw to kill other processes with root privileges under specific conditions. (CVE-2017-2616)
Red Hat would like to thank Tobias Stöckmann for reporting this issue.
Bug Fix(es):
The "findmnt --target " command prints all file systems where the mount point directory is . Previously, when used in the chroot environment, "findmnt --target " incorrectly displayed all mount points. The command has been fixed so that it now checks the mount point path and returns information only for the relevant mount point. (BZ#1414481)
