| util-linux 2.29.2 Release Notes |
| =============================== |

| This release fixes su(1) security issue CVE-2017-2616: |

| It is possible for any local user to send SIGKILL to other processes with root |
| privileges. To exploit this, the user must be able to perform su with a |
| successful login. SIGKILL can only be sent to processes which were executed |
| after the su process. It is not possible to send SIGKILL to processes which |
| were already running. |
