application from shadow-utils, which could allow local users in
the utmp group to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on
a temporary file referenced in a line (aka ut_line) field in a utmp
entry (CVE-2008-5394).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

Note: Mandriva Linux is using login application from util-linux-ng
by default, and therefore is not affected by this issue on default
configuration.

Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1, 2009.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
          Multi Network Firewall 2.0";
