aru Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:045 : passwd May 17th, 2004 Updated passwd packages fix vulnerabilities Steve Grubb found some problems in the passwd program. Passwords given to passwd via stdin are one character shorter than they are supposed to be. He also discovered that pam may not have been sufficiently initialized to ensure safe and proper operation. A few small memory leaks have been fixed as well. The updated packages are patched to correct these problems. The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are: 9.1 9.2 9.2/AMD64 Multi Network Firewall 8.2 Corporate Server 2.1 10.0 Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2004:045 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v0.0.8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
