  The coreutils packages were found to not use the pam_succeed_if Pluggable
  Authentication Module (PAM) correctly in the configuration file for the
  "su" command. Any local user could use this command to change to a locked
  or expired user account if the target account's password was known to the
  user running "su". These updated packages, correctly, only allow the root
  user to switch to locked or expired accounts using "su". (CVE-2008-1946)
