Title: RHSA-2011:1694 -- libcap security and bug fix update (Low)
Description: The libcap packages provide a library and tools for getting and setting POSIX capabilities. It was found that capsh did not change into the new root when using the "--chroot" option. An application started via the "capsh --chroot" command could use this flaw to escape the chroot restrictions. (CVE-2011-4099) This update also fixes the following bug: * Previously, the libcap packages did not contain the capsh(1) manual page. With this update, the capsh(1) manual page is included. (BZ#730957) All libcap users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
