Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: shadow-utils
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:026
Date: February 26th, 2003
Affected versions: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, Multi Network Firewall 8.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
The shadow-utils package contains the tool useradd, which is used to
create or update new user information. When useradd creates an
account, it would create it with improper permissions; instead of
having it owned by the group mail, it would be owned by the user's
primary group. If this is a shared group (ie. "users"), then all
members of the shared group would be able to obtain access to the
mail spools of other members of the same group. A patch to useradd
has been applied to correct this problem.
