| Problem Description |
A potential security problem was found in the useradd tool when it
creates a new user's mailbox due to a missing argument to the open()
call, resulting in the first permissions of the file being some random
garbage found on the stack, which could possibly be held open for
reading or writing before the proper fchmod() call is executed.
Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
