CVE reference:	CVE-2006-7108

Description: Avaya has acknowledged a security issue in various Avaya products, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions. The problem is that util-linux login omits "pam_acct_mgmt" and "chauth_tok" when authentication is skipped (e.g. with a valid Kerberos ticket) and can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain access policies. The security issue affects the following products: * Avaya Communication Manager (CM 2.x, 3.x, 4.x) * Avaya Messaging Storage Server (MSS 3.x) * Avaya Message Networking (all versions) * Avaya CCS/SES (all versions) * Avaya AES (AES 4.0) Solution: The vendor recommends that local and network access to the affected systems be restricted until an update is available.
