Security issues
---------------
CVE-2016-2779
CVE-2016-2779
This security issue is NOT FIXED yet. The ioctl TIOCSTI is possible to disable
by setsid() only. Unfortunately, setsid() has well define use-cases in su(1)
and runuser(1) and possible changes will introduce regressions. It seems we
need a better way -- ideally another ioctl (or whatever supported by kernel) to
disable TIOCSTI without setsid().
