NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream util-linux package and not the util-linux package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

login in util-linux-2.12a skips pam_acct_mgmt and chauth_tok when authentication is skipped, such as when a Kerberos krlogin session has been established, which might allow users to bypass intended access policies that would be enforced by pam_acct_mgmt and chauth_tok.
