 The problem in 43674 occurs because the implementation 
 presumes the cooperation of the user, which is normally 
 a sub-optimal strategy for system security.  
 If the user chooses not to cooperate, login is not aware.  
 
 Our proposed fix checks whether the user has actually made 
 the requested password change before proceeding.  
 If they attempt the ^C exploit listed in 43674, 
 they are prompted again.
 
 NOTE:  This patch is compatible with 4.7-STABLE !
