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

+ 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.
