Bug description:
  [Impact]
  We did not fix this CVE in Ubuntu because we do not build the impacted 
binaries (we use --disable-chfn-chsh). However, some users are known to build 
their own binaries from this Ubuntu source and therefore could be impacted.

  [Test Plan]
  Since there is no impact to Ubuntu binaries, there is no functional change to 
verify. Regression testing using the existing build-time tests and autopkgtests 
should suffice.

  We should also verify that util-linux source builds fine w/ chfn and
  chsh enabled after applying this patch - otherwise it is really
  helping no one.

  [Where problems could occur]
  The upstream patch is clearly restricted to the chfn chsh binaries, which are 
not compiled by Ubuntu, so I don't see a risk there. I do see a risk that this 
is used as a precedent to fix other no-impact-to-Ubuntu security issues in 
other source - say, just to silence 3rd party security scanners. I do not 
intend to set such a precedent here, and suggest we consider them only on a 
case-by-case basis.
