The remote /bin/login seems to crash when it receives too many environment variables. This is likely due to a buffer overflow vulnerability which might allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host.

#
# (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc.
#

#
# Sun's patch makes /bin/login exits when it receives too many arguments,
# hence making the detection of the flaw difficult. Our logic is the
# following :
#
# Username: "nessus" -> should not crash
# Username: "nessus A=B..... x 61"  -> should not crash
# Username: "nessus A=B..... x 100" -> should crash
