In some situations the login program could leak sensitive data due to an
|
|
incorrect usage of a reallocated pointer.

|
|
<b>NOTE:</b> Only users who have PAM support <b>disabled</b> on their
|
|
systems (i.e. <i>-PAM</i> in their USE variable) will be affected by this
|
|
vulnerability. By default, this USE flag is <b>enabled</b> on all
|
|
architectures. Users with PAM support on their system receive login binaries
|
|
as part of the pam-login package, which remains unaffected.
