Changelog

Version: 2.41-4ubuntu4.2 2026-03-13 12:08:08 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.
