Fixed in Feisty by merging this change from Debian: pam (0.79-3.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload to fix important bug, that makes passwd segfault when CTRL-D is pressed at the password prompt. Applied the patch provided by Dann Frazier. (Closes: #360657) -- Margarita Manterola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 5 Aug 2006 02:11:22 -0300 I don't think this is a security issue, as you can't get an arbitrary pointer in there - all you can do is make it dereference a null pointer, which will immediately raise SIGSEGV. ** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Watson Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- /usr/bin/passwd crashes with a segmentation fault if given null input https://launchpad.net/bugs/59730 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
