Summary
Security update for libcap-ng
Details

libcap-ng was updated to fix one security issue.

This security issue was fixed:

  • CVE-2014-3215: seunshare in policycoreutils (which uses libcap-ng) is owned by root with 4755 permissions, and executes programs in a way that changes the relationship between the setuid system call and the getresuid saved set-user-ID value, which made it easier for local users to gain privileges by leveraging a program that mistakenly expected that it could permanently drop privileges (bsc#876832).
