The udev package contains an implementation of devfs in userspace using
sysfs and /sbin/hotplug.

Richard Cunningham discovered a flaw in the way udev sets permissions on
various files in /dev/input. It may be possible for an authenticated
attacker to gather sensitive data entered by a user at the console, such as
passwords. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned
the name CVE-2005-3631 to this issue.

All users of udev should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
