Description:
6
 
 In shadow before 4.5, the newusers tool could be made to manipulate
7
 
 internal data structures in ways unintended by the authors. Malformed input
8
 
 may lead to crashes (with a buffer overflow or other memory corruption) or
9
 
 other unspecified behaviors. This crosses a privilege boundary in, for
10
 
 example, certain web-hosting environments in which a Control Panel allows
11
 
 an unprivileged user account to create subaccounts.
