MDKSA-2005:200: apache-mod_auth_shadow |

Check for the version of the apache-mod_auth_shadow package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:200 (apache-mod_auth_shadow). The mod_auth_shadow module 1.0 through 1.5 and 2.0 for Apache with AuthShadow enabled uses shadow authentication for all locations that use the require group directive, even when other authentication mechanisms are specified, which might permit remote authenticated users to bypass security restrictions. This update requires an explicit 'AuthShadow on' statement if website authentication should be checked against /etc/shadow. The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
