According to the versions of the shadow-utils package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
In shadow before 4.5, the newusers tool could be made to manipulate internal data structures in ways unintended by the authors. Malformed input may lead to crashes (with a buffer overflow or other memory corruption) or other unspecified behaviors. This crosses a privilege boundary in, for example, certain web-hosting environments in which a Control Panel allows an unprivileged user account to create subaccounts.(CVE-2017-12424)
Integer overflow in shadow 4.2.1 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted input to newuidmap.(CVE-2016-6252)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
