Summary

Updated util-linux packages fix CVE-2015-5224

Details

Updated util-linux packages fix security vulnerability:

The chfn and chsh commands in util-linux's login-utils are vulnerable to a file name collision due to incorrect mkstemp usage. If the chfn and chsh binaries are both setuid-root they eventually call mkostemp in such a way that an attacker could repeatedly call them and eventually be able to overwrite certain files in /etc (CVE-2015-5224).
