CVE-2007-5686 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:11 shadow.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream shadow package and not the shadow package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
initscripts in rPath Linux 1 sets insecure permissions for the /var/log/btmp file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information regarding authentication attempts. NOTE: because sshd detects the insecure permissions and does not log certain events, this also prevents sshd from logging failed authentication attempts by remote attackers.
