[slackware-security]  shadow (SSA:2011-101-01)

New shadow packages are available for Slackware 13.1, and -current to fix a
security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware  13.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/shadow-4.1.4.3-i486-2_slack13.1.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Corrected a packaging error where incorrect permissions on /usr/sbin/lastlog
  and /usr/sbin/faillog allow any user to set login failure limits on any
  other user (including root), potentially leading to a denial of service.
  Thanks to pyllyukko for discovering and reporting this vulnerability.
  (* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+


Where to find the new package:
+-----------------------------+

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
