  Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:090
  http://www.mandriva.com/security/
  _______________________________________________________________________

  Package : shadow-utils
  Date    : May 24, 2006
  Affected: 10.2, Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
  _______________________________________________________________________

  Problem Description:

  A potential security problem was found in the useradd tool when it
  creates a new user's mailbox due to a missing argument to the open()
  call, resulting in the first permissions of the file being some random
  garbage found on the stack, which could possibly be held open for
  reading or writing before the proper fchmod() call is executed.

  Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
