Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated shadow-utils package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting
UNIX password files to the shadow password format, as well as programs for
managing user and group accounts.
This update fixes the following issues:
- Chage.1 and chage -l give incorrect information about sp_inact.
- Useradd segfaults if there are many users in one group.
- The command usermod -p did not change the password last changed
field in the shadow file
- The audit record emitted from userdel when a user's mail file is
removed incorrectly states that the operation failed even when it
succeeded.
All users of shadow-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
