Could somebody explain the security implication for me?

being able to write arbitrary strings into valid records without
overwriting any other data in utmp/wtmp can hardly be classified
as a security vulnerability.

(Apart from that, I'm only slightly annoyed as I had to learn about
this via MITRE / GNOME Bugzilla instead of a mail from the maintainer
to the security team?)

Regards,

        Joey
