+ <background>
+ <p>
+ shadow provides a set of utilities to deal with user accounts.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ When the mailbox is created in useradd, the "open()" function does
+ not receive the three arguments it expects while O_CREAT is present,
+ which leads to random permissions on the created file, before fchmod()
+ is executed.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Depending on the random permissions given to the mailbox file
+ which is at this time owned by root, a local user may be able to open
+ this file for reading or writing, or even executing it, maybe as the
+ root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All shadow users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/shadow-4.0.15-r2"</code>
