+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.
