Descriptions

yast2-users before 3.1.47, as used in SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1, does not properly set empty password fields in /etc/shadow during an AutoYaST installation when the profile does not contain inst-sys users, which might allow attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.

yast2-users en versiones anteriores a 3.1.47, como se utiliza en SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1, no establece correctamente campos de contraseña vacíos en /etc/shadow durante una instalación AutoYaST cuando el perfil no contiene usuarios inst-sys, lo que podría permitir a atacantes tener un impacto no especificado a través de vectores desconocidos.
