Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56801
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:090 (shadow-utils)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to shadow-utils
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:090.

A potential security problem was found in the useradd tool when it
creates a new user's mailbox due to a missing argument to the open()
call, resulting in the first permissions of the file being some random
garbage found on the stack, which could possibly be held open for
reading or writing before the proper fchmod() call is executed.

Packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 10.2, Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
