*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Seth Arnold (seth-arnold):
CIS hardening benchmarks (6.1.6) suggest that the /etc/passwd- file
should be mode 0600 (or more restrictive).
However, this file is 0644 after it is created when the /etc/passwd file
is modified. (Ie, a hardening script that creates a hardened system for
initial use could change this mode, but it will go out of compliance the
next time a backup file is made.)
** Affects: shadow (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
