util-linux (2.42.2-1ubuntu1) stonking; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2153369).
Added changes:
- tests/fincore: force the use of GNU dd over uutils (LP: #2125968)
Remaining changes:
- Add sulogin-fallback-static-sh.patch
Add support for /bin/static-sh as fallback if the regular shell fails to
execute. Patch ported from sysvinit. (see LP #505887)
- Add sulogin-lockedpwd.patch
Make sure file systems can be fixed on machines with locked root
accounts (as Ubuntu does by default). Don't require --force for sulogin.
- d/rules: disable libmount mountfs support
Disable brand new feature with --disable-libmount-mountfd-support that
causes inability to deploy MAAS LP #2037417.
- d/p/ubuntu/su-pty-drop-caps.patch: harden 'su --pty' to temporarily lower
capabilities while proxying between stdin/stdout and the pty master. This
is to avoid su from being used to exploit kernel vulnerabilities.
