Fedora 24 FEDORA-2016-b601141219 Critical: Cracklib Buffer Overflow

Security fix for CVE-2016-6318. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-b601141219 2016-12-11 16:19:33.992232 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : cracklib Product : Fedora 24 Version : 2.9.6 Release : 4.fc24 URL : Summary : A password-checking library Description : CrackLib tests passwords to determine whether they match certain security-oriented characteristics, with the purpose of stopping usersfrom choosing passwords that are easy to guess. CrackLib performs several tests on passwords: it tries to generate words from a username and gecos entry and checks those words against the password; it checks for simplistic patterns in passwords; and it checks for the password in a dictionary. CrackLib is actually a library containing a particular C function which is used to check the password, as well as other C functions. CrackLib is not a replacement for a passwd program; it must be used in conjunction with an existing passwd program. Install the cracklib package if you need a program to check users' passwords to see if they are at least minimally secure. If you install CrackLib, you will also want to install the cracklib-dicts package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Security fix for CVE-2016-6318 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1364944 - CVE-2016-6318 cracklib: Stack-based buffer overflow when parsing large GECOS field https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364944 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use su -c 'dnf upgrade cracklib' at the command line. For more information, refer to the dnf documentation available at https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html All packages aresigned with the Fedora Project GPG key.
