     Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:200
     http://www.mandriva.com/security/
     _______________________________________________________________________
     
     Package : apache-mod_auth_shadow
     Date : October 27, 2005
     Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0
     _______________________________________________________________________
     
     Problem Description:
     
     The mod_auth_shadow module 1.0 through 1.5 and 2.0 for Apache with
     AuthShadow enabled uses shadow authentication for all locations that
     use the require group directive, even when other authentication
     mechanisms are specified, which might allow remote authenticated users
     to bypass security restrictions.
     
     This update requires an explicit "AuthShadow on" statement if website
     authentication should be checked against /etc/shadow.
     
     The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
