Am I correct in thinking that the vulnerability occurs when the
admin runs "su foouser barcmd" from a shell *and* there is some
compromised program running as user foouser which waits for this
to happen and, when it does, injects characters into the admin's
terminal to cause arbitrary commands to be executed with root
privilege?
