Title:
  sulogin crashes if root password is "x"

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There is no check for the pointer return value of library call crypt()
  before the pointer is used by strcmp().  This results in a
  segmentation fault and prevents the maintenance shell from running at
  system start-up if there is a problem mounting one or more
  filesystems.
