"It was found that libuser, as used in the chfn userhelper
functionality, does not properly filter out newline characters, which
allows an authenticated local attacker to corrupt the /etc/passwd file
and cause denial-of-service against the system. (CVE-2015-3245)

A flaw was found in the way the libuser library handled the
/etc/passwd file. A local attacker could use an application compiled
against libuser (for example, userhelper) to manipulate the
/etc/passwd file, which could result in a denial of service or
possibly allow the attacker to escalate their privileges to root.
(CVE-2015-3246)"
