                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           shadow-utils
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:026
Date:                   February 26th, 2003

Affected versions:	8.1, 8.2, 9.0, Multi Network Firewall 8.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 The shadow-utils package contains the tool useradd, which is used to 
 create or update new user information.  When useradd creates an
 account, it would create it with improper permissions; instead of
 having it owned by the group mail, it would be owned by the user's
 primary group.  If this is a shared group (ie. "users"), then all
 members of the shared group would be able to obtain access to the
 mail spools of other members of the same group.  A patch to useradd
 has been applied to correct this problem.
