| CVE-2017-12424 | Cri | 0.64 | 9.8 | 0.03 | Aug 4, 2017 | In shadow before 4.5, the newusers tool could be made to manipulate internal data structures in ways unintended by the authors. Malformed input may lead to crashes (with a buffer overflow or other memory corruption) or other unspecified behaviors. This crosses a privilege… | ||
| CVE-2016-6252 | Hig | 0.51 | 7.8 | 0.00 | Feb 17, 2017 | Integer overflow in shadow 4.2.1 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted input to newuidmap. | ||
| CVE-2018-7169 | Med | 0.35 | 5.3 | 0.02 | Feb 15, 2018 | An issue was discovered in shadow 4.5. newgidmap (in shadow-utils) is setuid and allows an unprivileged user to be placed in a user namespace where setgroups(2) is permitted. This allows an attacker to remove themselves from a supplementary group, which may allow access to… | ||
| CVE-2023-4641 | Med | 0.31 | 4.7 | 0.00 | Dec 27, 2023 | A flaw was found in shadow-utils. When asking for a new password, shadow-utils asks the password twice. If the password fails on the second attempt, shadow-utils fails in cleaning the buffer used to store the first entry. This may allow an attacker with enough access to retrieve… | ||
| CVE-2023-29383 | Low | 0.00 | 3.3 | 0.00 | Apr 14, 2023 | In Shadow 4.13, it is possible to inject control characters into fields provided to the SUID program chfn (change finger). Although it is not possible to exploit this directly (e.g., adding a new user fails because \n is in the block list), it is possible to misrepresent the… | ||
| CVE-2019-19882 | Hig | 0.00 | 7.8 | 0.01 | Dec 18, 2019 | shadow 4.8, in certain circumstances affecting at least Gentoo, Arch Linux, and Void Linux, allows local users to obtain root access because setuid programs are misconfigured. Specifically, this affects shadow 4.8 when compiled using --with-libpam but without explicitly passing… |
