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.
