Thanks for the DSA-1709 fix.
Belatedly, I realize that this still leaves a DoS attack: fill up utmp
with entries for all possible PIDs, then login will fail. Maybe that is
"properly" Bug#505071 (as distinct from this one)? Please see there
about ideas on how to perform this DoS without access to group utmp.
Cheers,
