CVE-2007-5686
ADVISORY - debianSummary
initscripts in rPath Linux 1 sets insecure permissions for the /var/log/btmp file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information regarding authentication attempts. NOTE: because sshd detects the insecure permissions and does not log certain events, this also prevents sshd from logging failed authentication attempts by remote attackers.
- shadow (unimportant) See #290803, on Debian LOG_UNKFAIL_ENAB in login.defs is set to no so unknown usernames are not recorded on login failures
