Description:   Opened: 2008-12-17 16:02 0000 
CVE-2008-5394 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-5394):
  /bin/login in shadow 4.0.18.1 in Debian GNU/Linux, and probably other
  Linux distributions, allows local users in the utmp group to
  overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file
  referenced in a line (aka ut_line) field in a utmp entry.
