 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:090
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : shadow-utils
 Date    : May 24, 2006
 Affected: 10.2, Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 A potential security problem was found in the useradd tool when it
 creates a new user's mailbox due to a missing argument to the open()
 call, resulting in the first permissions of the file being some random
 garbage found on the stack, which could possibly be held open for
 reading or writing before the proper fchmod() call is executed.
 
 Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
