An update that solves one vulnerability and has two security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for shadow fixes several issues.

This security issue was fixed:

• CVE-2017-12424: The newusers tool could have been forced to manipulate internal data structures in ways unintended by the authors. Malformed input may have lead to crashes (with a buffer overflow or other memory corruption) or other unspecified behaviors (bsc#1052261).

These non-security issues were fixed:

• bsc#1023895: Fixed man page to not contain invalid options and also prevent warnings when using these options in certain settings
• bsc#980486: Reset user in /var/log/tallylog because of the usage of pam_tally2
