Package: passwd
Version: 4.0.3-30.4
Severity: important
Tags: security

Issue also appears in 20000902-12woody1.

The chpasswd program ignores the system MD5 setting in /etc/pam.d/passwd
(also tried MD5_CRYPT_ENAB in /etc/login.defs) and instead hashes all
passwords with DES.  In the case of compromise of /etc/shadow, this
greatly increases the ease with which attackers can crack back passwords.
The system administrator thinks that they are using strong hashing until
they closely examine /etc/shadow.

Given that the shadow package maintenance team has now taken over this
package, we can know acknowledge all non-maintainer uploads which were
made during the interim period.

So, hoping I made no typo, I hereby close all these bugs
definitely. Thanks a lot to all bug reporters.
