| Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.840191 |
| Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
| Title: | Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-663-1) |
| Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the 'system-tools-backends' package(s) announced via the USN-663-1 advisory. |
| Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'system-tools-backends' package(s) announced via the USN-663-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that passwords changed (or new users created) via the 'Users and Groups' tool were created with 3DES hashing. This reduced the security of stored user passwords, and was a regression from the correct MD5 hashing. This update fixes the problem, future password changes will correct the hashing used. We apologize for the inconvenience. Affected Software/OS: 'system-tools-backends' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N |
