Severity: important
Tags: security upstream
Hi,
the following vulnerability was published for shadow.
CVE-2018-7169[0]:
| An issue was discovered in shadow 4.5. newgidmap (in shadow-utils) is
| setuid and allows an unprivileged user to be placed in a user namespace
| where setgroups(2) is permitted. This allows an attacker to remove
| themselves from a supplementary group, which may allow access to
| certain filesystem paths if the administrator has used "group
| blacklisting" (e.g., chmod g-rwx) to restrict access to paths. This
| flaw effectively reverts a security feature in the kernel (in
| particular, the /proc/self/setgroups knob) to prevent this sort of
| privilege escalation.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
Regards,
Salvatore
