CVE-2008-1926 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-1926):
  Argument injection vulnerability in login (login-utils/login.c) in
  util-linux-ng 2.14 and earlier makes it easier for remote attackers to hide
  activities by modifying portions of log events, as demonstrated by appending
  an "addr=" statement to the login name, aka "audit log injection."
