Synopsis: Low: util-linux security and bug fix update
Issue date: 2007-05-01
CVE Names: CVE-2006-7108

A flaw was found in the way the login process handled logins which did not
require authentication. Certain processes which conduct their own
authentication could allow a remote user to bypass intended access policies
which would normally be enforced by the login process. (CVE-2006-7108)
