Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-308-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'shadow' package(s) announced via the USN-308-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'shadow' package(s) announced via the USN-308-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Ilja van Sprundel discovered that passwd, when called with the -f, -g, or -s option, did not check the result of the setuid() call. On systems that configure PAM limits for the maximum number of user processes, a local attacker could exploit this to execute chfn, gpasswd, or chsh with root privileges. This does not affect the default configuration of Ubuntu. Affected Software/OS: 'shadow' package(s) on Ubuntu 5.04, Ubuntu 5.10, Ubuntu 6.06. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
