Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2011-0316
2011-01-12 05:02:19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : libuser
Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 0.56.18
Release     : 3.fc14
URL         : https://fedorahosted.org/libuser/
Summary     : A user and group account administration library
Description :
The libuser library implements a standardized interface for manipulating
and administering user and group accounts.  The library uses pluggable
back-ends to interface to its data sources.

Sample applications modeled after those included with the shadow password
suite are included.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Fixes default userPassword value on LDAP; note that this affects only accounts for which the
password was not changed later. In addition to installing this update, maintainers of LDAP servers
used for authentication should review their LDAP directory for unexpected plaintext userPassword
values.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Mon Jan 10 2011 Miloslav Trma? <mitr@redhat.com> - 0.56.18-3
- Correctly mark the LDAP default password value as encrypted (CVE-2011-0002)
