-Subject: [PATCH] su: properly clear child PID
-
-If su is compiled with PAM support, it is possible for any local user
-to send SIGKILL to other processes with root privileges. There are
-only two conditions. First, the user must be able to perform su with
-a successful login. This does NOT have to be the root user, even using
-su with the same id is enough, e.g. "su $(whoami)". Second, 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. I consider this as a security vulnerability, because I was
-able to write a proof of concept which unlocked a screen saver of
-another user this way.
