RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: util-linux-2.23.2-23.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
* The su command was incorrectly evaluating exit statuses of its child processes. This caused it to input an incorrect messsage, "Killed (core dumped)", when a child process was killed. With this update, su prints the correct message, "Killed", when its child process is killed.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2093 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE util-linux bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 10:51:15 UTC

Description Paulo Andrade 2014-09-29 13:12:32 UTC
Pach has been submitted upstream:
http://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=141184467317500&w=2

To repeat the problem:

terminal 1$  sudo su -
terminal 1$  echo $$

terminal 2$  kill -9 THE-PID-OF-THE-SU-IN-TERMINAL-1


It should only print "Killed", not "Killed (core dumped)"

The patch may be slightly customized to avoid needing an
extra internationalization for " (core dumped)", that is,
with a leading " ".

The patch just reorded the assignment of status, so it
only changes the text print.
