retitle 341230 passwd: Partial changes with chfn other values tags 341230 upstream tags 341230 - unreproducible thanks
Hello Tomasz, Here is some more information. In chfn.c, we use getpwnam to retrieve the passwd structure for the given user. The reason this bug appear wim pam_unix 0.76 and not with 0.79 is that pam_unix also uses getpwnam, and thus changes the internal structure returned (to both shadow and pam_unix). I think we should either duplicate this structure, or use getpwnam_r. I'm reverting the title change, since I do think it is a shadow bug (e.g. another PAM module could still use getpwnam). Maybe this should also be checked in the other shadow utilities. PS: upgrading to libpam-modules 0.79 is still recommended.
