the format of utmp and wtmp in glibc2 aka libc6 is different from the
format used in libc5 (which forked off glibc1 long time ago)
this is not a real security issue (but it could have security
ramifications like any other problem)
your wtmp seems to be corrupted (mixed formats), the easiest "fix" is to
erase the contents of /var/log/wmtp (the proper remedy would be to
separate a part in the old format...
