_______________________________________________________________________

Package : apache-mod_auth_shadow
Date : April 18, 2010
Affected: 2008.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, Corporate 4.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in apache-mod_auth_shadow:

A race condition was found in the way mod_auth_shadow used an external
helper binary to validate user credentials (username / password
pairs). A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended
access restrictions, resulting in ability to view and potentially
alter resources, which should be otherwise protected by authentication
(CVE-2010-1151).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
