<impact type="normal">
<p>A local attacker could set a specially crafted GECOS field value in
“/etc/passwd”; possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition, or the
escalation of privileges.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>

<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-libs/cracklib-2.9.6-r1"
</code>
</resolution>
