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.
