Do you mean "etch" instead of "lenny"?

We'd probably release a DSA once there's a patch which has some track
record, but as far as I can tell, the issue has not been fully
analyzed yet.  You guard against a symlink attack, but you don't seem
to ensure that the TTY name retrieved from the utmp file is correct in
the first place.
