Definitely a userspace bug...

[root@localhost eparis]# ausearch -m login
<no matches>
[root@localhost eparis]# cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep "type=LOGIN" | wc -l
14
[root@localhost eparis]# uname -a

[root@localhost eparis]# rpm -q audit
audit-2.3.7-1.fc20.x86_64

type=LOGIN msg=audit(1402952461.125:37289): pid=30708 uid=0 old-auid=4294967295 new-auid=0 old-ses=4294967295 new-ses=137 res=1

I get it that the parse doesn't know how to handle new-auid and new-ses,
but just dropping the record really seems like a bad idea to me...
