2.1 LOW — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Description

Off-by-one error in passwd 0.68 and earlier, when using the --stdin option, causes passwd to use the first 78 characters of a password instead of the first 79, which results in a small reduction of the search space required for brute force attacks.

Affected configurations

• mandrakesoft mandrake multi network firewall 8.2 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 8.2 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 9.0 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 9.1 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 9.2 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 10.0 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux corporate server 2.1
