I was expecting a new release, but not that close ;)

So here is shadow 4.1.3.1

It fixes a bug in login which could have security consequences (wrong
parsing of octal numbers, causing wrong permissions on TTYs, and wrong
usage of UMASK, ERASECHAR or KILLCHAR). Only 4.1.3 was impacted.

4.1.3.1 also provides some small bug fixes mostly related to the SE Linux
support.

You can find the 4.1.3.1 archive in:
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/shadow-4.1.3.1.tar.bz2
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/shadow-4.1.3.1.tar.bz2.sig

And the comprehensive changelog in:
ftp://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/pub/pkg-shadow/shadow-4.1.3.1.NEWS

There should still be another release shortly, hopefully for l10n only.

Best Regards,
