This vulnerability has been modified since it was last analyzed by the NVD. It is awaiting reanalysis which may result in further changes to the information provided.
Current Description
libuser before 0.56.13-8 and 0.60 before 0.60-7, as used in the userhelper program in the usermode package, directly modifies /etc/passwd, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (inconsistent file state) by causing an error during the modification. NOTE: this issue can be combined with CVE-2015-3245 to gain privileges.

Vulnerabilidad en libuser en versiones anteriores 0.56.13-8 y 0.60 en versiones anteriores a 0.60.7, tal como se utiliza en el programa userhelper en el paquete usermode, modifica directamente /etc/passwd, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (estado de archivo inconsistente) causando un error durante la modificación. NOTA: este problema se puede combinar con CVE-2015-3245 para obtener privilegios.
