Package name: coreutils
Date: 2006-10-23
Advisory ID: MDKA-2006:045
Affected versions: 2007.0 x86_64 , 2007.0 i586

Problem description

The coreutils package lacked several features due to a build
deficiency. As a result, the su program was not linked against the PAM
library, making it impossible for su to make use of advanced
authentication features that rely on the PAM library. As well, the cp
system utility did not keep extended attributes and ACLs in file
copies.

This has been corrected in the updated packages.
