    Package : checkpw
    CVE ID : CVE-2015-0885
    Debian Bug : 780139

    Hiroya Ito of GMO Pepabo, Inc. reported that checkpw, a password
    authentication program, has a flaw in processing account names which
    contain double dashes. A remote attacker can use this flaw to cause a
    denial of service (infinite loop).

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.02-1+deb7u1.

    For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been
    fixed in version 1.02-1.1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.02-1.1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your checkpw packages.
