Description:   Opened: 2004-03-31 16:33 0000 
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0080

The login program in util-linux 2.11 and earlier uses a pointer after it has been freed and reallocated, which could cause login to leak sensitive data.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0080 to this issue.

This seems to affect only older ebuilds.  Maybe we should mask them or remove them. I didn't find any reference that newer versions might be affected,

regards,
Tobias W.

looks like amd64 may be affected by this.  all other arches have >= 2.12 marked
as stable.

amd64 -- can you see if >=2.12 can be marked stable?

Done.

------- Comment #3 From Andrea Barisani (RETIRED) 2004-04-07 08:16:50 0000 ------- 
It should be noted that login is usually installed from pam-login unless the
pam USE flag is disabled.
