Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: passwd
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:045
Date: May 17th, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

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.
