Dear Nicolas, On 23 Nov you wrote: - alert other Linux distros, A new upstream version was released this weekend. Have not seen any distros make announcements. What distros use that? (Am surprised that even Ubuntu has not updated, though normally they seem responsive.) Cheers, Paul Paul

The bug should affect ubuntu and probably gentoo (4.1.2.2 already packaged). Not RedHat / Mandrake. A quick peek into shadow-utils-4.1.2-8.fc10.src.rpm suggests Fedora is also affected. I do not know about RHEL. Ubuntu now notified directly:

I wrote a little while ago: A quick peek into shadow-utils-4.1.2-8.fc10.src.rpm suggests Fedora is also affected. I do not know about RHEL. A quick peek into shadow-utils-4.0.17-14.el5.src.rpm suggests RHEL is just as bad. Cheers, Paul Paul Szabo [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Moritz, Yes, Nicolas's patch does fix the problem. But please note: (1) It is my patch, not Nicolas's, was first proposed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505071#15 (2) There is no such patch, nobody has made a diff file, much less a compiled/built package to try.
