Title:
  pam_tty_audit failed in pam_open_session

Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pam package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Dear Maintainer.

  I found a bug in pam_tty_audit.
  When Using the pam_tty_audit with other pam modules(ex, pam_ldap), it failed in pam_open_session.
  It was triggared by use uninitialized variable in pam_tty_audit.c::pam_open_session.

  * Enviroments
  Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
  linux-image-3.16.0-71-generic    3.16.0-71.92~14.04.1
  libpam-ldap:amd64    184-8.5ubuntu3
  libpam-modules:amd64    1.1.8-1ubuntu2.2

  Ubuntu 16.04.2 TLS
  linux-image-4.4.0-62-generic    4.4.0-62.83
  libpam-ldap:amd64    184-8.7ubuntu1
  libpam-modules:amd64    1.1.8-3.2ubuntu2

  * Reproduction method
  1. Install libpam-ldap.
  2. Add the following to the end of /etc/pam.d/common-sessions
  --------
  session required pam_tty_audit.so enable=* open_only
  --------
  3. When logging in with ssh etc., pam_tty_audit will fail and login fails

  * Solution (== 2018/04/16 Link updated ==)
  apply upstream patch
