Description:
===========================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-663-1 November 05, 2008system-tools-backends regressionhttps://launchpad.net/bugs/287134===========================================================A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:Ubuntu 8.10This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions ofKubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to thefollowing package versions:Ubuntu 8.10: system-tools-backends 2.6.0-1ubuntu1.1In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect thenecessary changes.Details follow:It was discovered that passwords changed (or new users created) via the"Users and Groups" tool were created with 3DES hashing. This reduced thesecurity of stored user passwords, and was a regression from the correctMD5 hashing. This update fixes the problem; future password changeswill correct the hashing used. We apologize for the inconvenience.
