Hiroya Ito of GMO Pepabo, Inc. reported that checkpw, a password
authentication program, has a flaw in processing account names which
contain double dashes. A remote attacker can use this flaw to cause a
denial of service (infinite loop).

version 1.02-1+deb7u1.
For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been
fixed in version 1.02-1.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your checkpw packages.
