affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6640-1 advisory.
- 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.
