Advisory Published
It was found that shadow-utils-4.2.1 had a potentially unsafe use of
getlogin with the concern that the utmp entry might have a spoofed
username associated with a correct uid (CVE-2016-6251).
It was found that shadow-utils-4.2.1 had an incorrect integer handling
problem where it looks like the int wrap is exploitable as a LPE, as the
kernel is using 32bit uid's that are truncated from unsigned longs
(64bit on x64) as returned by simple_strtoul() [map_write()].
(CVE-2016-6252).
