MiracleLinux 4 : libuser-0.56.13-4.AXS4.1 (AXSA:2011-30:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 284380

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2011-30:01 advisory.

 The libuser library implements a standardized interface for manipulating and administering user and group accounts. The library uses pluggable back-ends to interface to its data sources.
 Sample applications modeled after those included with the shadow password suite are included.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2011-0002 libuser before 0.57 uses a cleartext password value of (1) !! or (2) x for new LDAP user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by specifying one of these values.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected libuser and / or libuser-python packages.
