[slackware-security]  shadow (SSA:2011-086-03)

New shadow packages are available for Slackware 13.1 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/shadow-4.1.4.3-i486-1_slack13.1.txz:  Rebuilt.
  This release fixes a security issue where local users may be able to add
  themselves to NIS groups through chfn and chsh.
  For more information, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-0721
  (* Security fix *)
  Thanks to Gary Langshaw for collecting important additional patches from svn.

Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
