Version: 2.41-4ubuntu4.2	2026-03-12 23:10:16 UTC
`util-linux (2.41-4ubuntu4.2) questing-security; urgency=medium * d/p/ubuntu/su-pty-drop-caps.patch: harden 'su --pty' to temporarily lower capabilities while proxying between stdin/stdout and the pty master. This is to avoid su from being used to exploit kernel vulnerabilities. -- Luci Stanescu <email address hidden> Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:56:03 +0200`
