+Security issues
+---------------
+
+hwclock - no longer makes any internal permission checks. The System
+  Administrator must set proper permissions to control user access to
+  the RTC. It is NOT recommended to use set-user-ID.
+
+CVE-2016-2779 - This security issue is NOT FIXED yet.  It is possible to
+  disable the ioctl TIOCSTI by setsid() only.  Unfortunately, setsid()
+  has well-defined use cases in su(1) and runuser(1) and any changes
+  would introduce regressions.  It seems we need a better way -- ideally
+  another ioctl to disable TIOCSTI without setsid() or in userspace
+  implemented pty container (planned as experimental su(1) feature).
