Ubuntu Security Notice 663-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 663-1
Posted Nov 5, 2008
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-663-1 - It was discovered that passwords changed (or new users created) via the "Users and Groups" tool were created with 3DES hashing. This reduced the security of stored user passwords, and was a regression from the correct MD5 hashing. This update fixes the problem; future password changes will correct the hashing used.

===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.10:
system-tools-backends 2.6.0-1ubuntu1.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that passwords changed (or new users created) via the
"Users and Groups" tool were created with 3DES hashing. This reduced the
security of stored user passwords, and was a regression from the correct
MD5 hashing. This update fixes the problem; future password changes
will correct the hashing used. We apologize for the inconvenience.
