"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 <path>' command prints all file
    systems where the mount point directory is <path>.
    Previously, when used in the chroot environment,
    'findmnt --target <path>' 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.");
