"New utempter packages are available for Slackware 9.1 and -current to
fix a security issue. (Slackware 9.1 was the first version of
Slackware to use the libutempter library, and earlier versions of
Slackware are not affected by this issue) The utempter package
provides a utility and shared library that allows terminal
applications such as xterm and screen to update /var/run/utmp and
/var/log/wtmp without requiring root privileges. Steve Grubb has
identified an issue with utempter-0.5.2 where under certain
circumstances an attacker could cause it to overwrite files through a
symlink. This has been addressed by upgrading the utempter package to
use Dmitry V. Levin's new implementation of libutempter that does not
have this bug."
