Synopsis: Important: libuser security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:1482-1
Issue Date: 2015-07-23
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-3245
CVE-2015-3246
--
Two flaws were found in the way the libuser library handled the
/etc/passwd file. A local attacker could use an application compiled
against libuser (for example, userhelper) to manipulate the /etc/passwd
file, which could result in a denial of service or possibly allow the
attacker to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2015-3245,
CVE-2015-3246)
