+ Subject: restrict "su -c" only when callee is not root
+
+ Shadow 4.1.5 addressed a tty-hijacking vulnerability in "su -c"
+ (CVE-2005-4890) by detaching the controlling terminal in the non-PAM
+ case via a TIOCNOTTY request.
+
+ Bi-directional protection is excessive and breaks a commonly-used
+ methods for privilege escalation on non-PAM systems (e.g. xterm -e
+ /bin/su -s /bin/bash -c /bin/bash myscript).
+
+ This patch relaxes the restriction and only detaches the controlling
+ tty when the callee is not root (which is, after all, the threat vector).
