Title:	RedHat Update for libuser RHSA-2015:1483-01
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libuser'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libuser' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The libuser library implements a standardized interface for manipulating and administering user and group accounts. Sample applications that are modeled after applications from the shadow password suite (shadow-utils) are included in these packages. Two flaws were found in the way the libuser library handled the /etc/passwd file. A local attacker could use an application compiled against libuser (for example, userhelper) to manipulate the /etc/passwd file, which could result in a denial of service or possibly allow the attacker to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2015-3245, CVE-2015-3246) Red Hat would like to thank Qualys for reporting these issues. All libuser users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Affected Software/OS: libuser on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
