<affected>
<package name="sys-apps/util-linux" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">2.12</unaffected>

<background>
<p>
Util-linux is a suite of essential system utilites, including login,
agetty, fdisk.
</p>

<description>
<p>
In some situations the login program could leak sensitive data due to an
incorrect usage of a reallocated pointer.
</p>
<p>
<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.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="low">
<p>
A remote attacker may obtain sensitive data.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All util-linux users should upgrade to version 2.12 or later:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=sys-apps/util-linux-2.12"
# emerge ">=sys-apps/util-linux-2.12"
</code>
