Description

Typical. This fixes a "race condition" vulnerability in login, which could lead to gaining ownership or changing mode of arbitrary files; and a possible login DOS when an attacker can inject forged entries in utmp.

Probably needs to be targetted for an errata announcement for 6.4, and then promoted to trunk for 7.0.
