Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-17-1 (passwd)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to passwd announced via advisory USN-17-1. Martin Schulze and Steve Grubb discovered a flaw in the authentication input validation of the 'chfn' and 'chsh' programs. This allowed logged in users with an expired password to change their real name and their login shell without having to change their password. This flaw cannot lead to privilege escalation and does not allow to modify account properties of other users, so the impact is relatively low. The following packages are affected: login Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:4.0.3-28.5ubuntu6.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2004-November/000019.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
