The Debian 'shadow' package(s) in Debian 3.1 is missing an update as announced via the DSA-1150-1 advisory. It affects packages that execute the setuid() system call without checking for success when trying to drop privileges, which may fail with some PAM configurations. The stable distribution (sarge) has been fixed in version 4.0.3-31sarge8, and the unstable distribution (sid) has been fixed in version 4.0.17-2. It is recommended to upgrade the passwd package
