[dubailug] Biggest bug in linux/unix discovered

[mohamed shanaf]

Hello,   Biggest bug in  linux/unix discovered!!!!! U can retrieve Password of the user..... Do u know - You can get to reveal your password!! This is due  a well known bug in the crypto algorithm of UNIX, used to generate /etc/passwd  hash. Recent fixes have recommended usage of stronger algorithms like MD5, etc.,  But due to the large deployment of Unix machines,  world-wide, its a very difficult task, requiring huge Logistics support. Check  if your machine has the vulnerability. It could be fixed/still open... just type  the following command in UNIX or LINUX or
 Solaris, and you won't believe that it  will give you password of the user who has logged in  !!!  Echo '82 43/25  43+65P80P82P73P76P32P70P79P79P76P10P' |  dc   Regards shan                                                   Linux operating system                                       Linux os                                       Hosting linux unix web                                                                     Free linux operating system                                       Linux user                                       Unix vs linux
