Package: dchroot
Severity: whishlist

dchroot invokes /bin/su with the original environment and EUID = UID =
0.  There is a slight potential that this might trigger harmful
behavior because to su, it looks as if it was run by root, and not
like a SUID invocation from an untrusted user.

Fortunately, all the critical LD_* variables are filtered by GNU libc
in a blacklist, so this is not directly exploitable.  But it's better
to play safe, IMHO (see the sudo problems in this area).
