  It was found that capsh did not change into the new root when using the
  '--chroot' option. An application started via the 'capsh --chroot' command
  could use this flaw to escape the chroot restrictions. (CVE-2011-4099)

  This update also fixes the following bug:

  * Previously, the libcap packages did not contain the capsh(1) manual page.
  With this update, the capsh(1) manual page is included. (BZ#730957)

  All libcap users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain backported patches to correct these issues.");
