Synopsis: Low: coreutils security update Issue date: 2008-07-24 CVE Names: CVE-2008-1946 The coreutils packages were found to not use the pam_succeed_if Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) correctly in the configuration file for the "su" command. Any local user could use this command to change to a locked or expired user account if the target account's password was known to the user running "su". These updated packages, correctly, only allow the root user to switch to locked or expired accounts using "su".
