Descriptions
Unknown vulnerability in the passwd_check function in Shadow 4.0.4.1, and possibly other versions before 4.0.5, allows local users to conduct unauthorized activities when an error from a pam_chauthtok function call is not properly handled.
A vulnerability has been discovered in the shadow suite which provides programs like chfn and chsh. It is possible for a user, who is logged in but has an expired password to alter his account information with chfn or chsh without having to change the password. The problem was originally thought to be more severe.
