5su: properly clear child PID
6
7If su is compiled with PAM support, it is possible for any local user
8to send SIGKILL to other processes with root privileges. There are
9only two conditions. First, the user must be able to perform su with
10a successful login. This does NOT have to be the root user, even using
11su with the same id is enough, e.g. "su $(whoami)". Second, SIGKILL
12can only be sent to processes which were executed after the su process.
13It is not possible to send SIGKILL to processes which were already
14running. I consider this as a security vulnerability, because I was
15able to write a proof of concept which unlocked a screen saver of
16another user this way.
