DSA-585-1 shadow Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment 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. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 20000902-12woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.3-30.3. We recommend that you upgrade your passwd package (from the shadow suite).
