Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0780
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2008:0780. The coreutils package contains the core GNU utilities. It is the combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages. The coreutils packages were found to not use the pam_succeed_if Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) correctly in the configuration file for the su command. Any local user could use this command to change to a locked or expired user account if the target account's password was known to the user running su. These updated packages, correctly, only allow the root user to switch to locked or expired accounts using su. (CVE-2008-1946) All users of coreutils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolve this issue. 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-2008-0780.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#low Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.4
