"A flaw was found in shadow-utils. When asking for a new password,
shadow-utils asks the password twice. If the password fails on the
second attempt, shadow-utils fails in cleaning the buffer used to
store the first entry. This may allow an attacker with enough access
to retrieve the password from the memory.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
