  2. Change log 
  • shadow (1:4.0.3-30.7ubuntu16.1) hoary-security; urgency=low

  * SECURITY UPDATE: Root privilege escalation.
  * src/passwd.c:
    - Check for failing setuid() (which can happen if user hits PAM limits).
      Before, passwd continued to run as root and executed chfn/chsh/gpasswd
      as root instead of as the user.
    - Thanks to Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen for pointing this out.
