Package: passwd Version: 1:4.0.18.1-7 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
If /etc/gshadow file has been changed so two otherwise non-identical groups apear with the same groupname, usermod will loop and use all memory on system if called. Reproducable by performing this: # groupadd tr # groupadd rtr # useradd -g tr tr # perl -pi -e 's/rtr/tr/g' /etc/gshadow # usermod -G tr tr <observe usermod using memory and proc time> Tested and reproduced on latest (4.0r3) netinst iso image and updated with all packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries ii login 1:4.0.18.1-7 system login tools passwd recommends no packages. -- debconf information: passwd/root-password-crypted: (password omitted) passwd/user-password-crypted: (password omitted) passwd/root-password: (password omitted) passwd/root-password-again: (password omitted) passwd/user-password-again: (password omitted) passwd/user-password: (password omitted) passwd/password-mismatch: passwd/shadow: true passwd/username: tr passwd/password-empty: passwd/username-bad: passwd/make-user: true passwd/title: passwd/user-fullname: passwd/user-uid: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
