Debian DSA-015-1 : sash - broken maintainer script

low Nessus Plugin ID 14852

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Versions of the sash package prior to 3.4-4 did not clone /etc/shadow properly, causing it to be made world-readable.

This package only exists in stable, so if you are running unstable you won't see a bugfix unless you use the resources from the bottom of this message to the proper configuration.

Solution

Upgrade the sash package immediately.
