CVE-2006-1174

Publication date 28 May 2006

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

useradd in shadow-utils before 4.0.3, and possibly other versions before 4.0.8, does not provide a required argument to the open function when creating a new user mailbox, which causes the mailbox to be created with unpredictable permissions and possibly allows attackers to read or modify the mailbox.
