Util-linux-ng 2.13.1.1 Release Notes (22-Apr-2008)
==================================================

Fixed security issue:
--------------------

- audit log injection attack. This bug allows attackers to write
arbitrary characters to an audit log via a crafted username.

The problem was originally reported for OpenSSH few months ago
(CVE-2007-3102). The login(1) is affected by the same bug when
built with the option "--with-audit".


Changelog:
