Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68930
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1065-1 (shadow)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-1065-1 (shadow)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to shadow announced via advisory USN-1065-1. Details follow: Kees Cook discovered that some shadow utilities did not correctly validate user input. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to inject newlines into the /etc/passwd file. If the system was configured to use NIS, this could lead to existing NIS groups or users gaining or losing access to the system, resulting in a denial of service or unauthorized access. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 9.10: passwd 1:4.1.4.1-1ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: passwd 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu 10.10: passwd 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu3.2 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1065-1 Risk factor : High
