Package: migrationtools
Version: 46-1
Severity: critical
Tags: security
Justification: root security hole


Migrationtools leaves insecure temporary files containing information from 
/etc/shadow.

When it fails to add information, it creates files like 
nis.<bunchofnumbers>.ldif which are world 
readable. This can contain encrypted passwords from /etc/shadow, and by 
default, includes the root
account (unless you modify migrate_common.ph with minuid).

This is probably a bad thing(tm).
