Description Pedro Sampaio 2018-09-17 13:30:30 EDT 
An issue was discovered in mgetty before 1.2.1. In contrib/scrts.c, a stack-based buffer overflow can be triggered via a command-line parameter.

Comment 1 Pedro Sampaio 2018-09-17 13:30:57 EDT 
Created mgetty tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1629972]
Comment 3 Riccardo Schirone 2018-09-19 09:18:31 EDT 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of mgetty as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7 as they did not include the scrts binary, which is found in the contribs directory of the upstream source code.
