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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a user who has already authenticated through Kerberos krlogin bypass account checks normally enforced by PAM login policy. That may allow access despite expired accounts, restricted login rules, or required password/token changes. The bundle does not show active exploitation or a CVSS score. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems using util-linux login 2.12a with PAM and Kerberos krlogin or similar authentication-skipping flows. The source bundle lists vendor advisories but does not provide a complete affected-distribution matrix. Prioritize if the organization still operates legacy Kerberos rlogin or old Linux distributions. For modern supported systems, urgency is lower but inventory confirmation is important because the issue affects access-control enforcement, not just a cosmetic login behavior. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems using util-linux login 2.12a or vendor packages from 2006-2007.; Review Red Hat, Mandriva, rPath, Avaya, and distribution advisories for fixed package guidance.; Update affected util-linux/login packages through supported vendor channels..
