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)
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.
