Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55769
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:200 (apache-mod_auth_shadow)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to apache-mod_auth_shadow
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:200.

The mod_auth_shadow module 1.0 through 1.5 and 2.0 for Apache with
AuthShadow enabled uses shadow authentication for all locations that
use the require group directive, even when other authentication
mechanisms are specified, which might allow remote authenticated users
to bypass security restrictions.

This update requires an explicit AuthShadow on statement if website
authentication should be checked against /etc/shadow.

The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0

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