In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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.
