Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0276
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2007:0276. The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, as well as programs for managing user and group accounts. A flaw was found in the useradd tool in shadow-utils. A new user's mailbox, when created, could have random permissions for a short period. This could allow a local attacker to read or modify the mailbox. (CVE-2006-1174) This update also fixes the following bugs: * shadow-utils debuginfo package was empty. * faillog was unusable on 64-bit systems. It checked every UID from 0 to the max UID, which was an excessively large number on 64-bit systems. * typo bug in login.defs file All users of shadow-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0276.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#low Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 3.7
