*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: libcap2
Release: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Architecture: amd64
Kernel version: 2.6.32-30-generic
Package: libcap2-bin 1:2.17-2ubuntu1
Description:
Installing libcap offers to change the PAM configuration for you or let you do
it yourself by running manually pam-auth-update. I chose the latter option and
backed up /etc/pam*. After pam-auth-update'ing, passwd started behaving weirdly
and at each invocation it just printed
passwd: password updated successfully
and exited immediately without ever prompting me for a new password. Replacing
the following line in
/etc/pam.d/common-{account,auth,password}
password [default=1] pam_permit.so
to whatever it was before from the backup solves the problem.
Severity: high
** Affects: libcap2 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Visibility changed to: Public
