{"id":"AZL-32253","summary":"CVE-2023-4641 affecting package shadow-utils for versions less than 4.9-14","details":"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.
