CVE-2008-6792 in Linux
Zusammenfassung
von MITRE
system-tools-backends before 2.6.0-1ubuntu1.1 in Ubuntu 8.10, as used by "Users and Groups" in GNOME System Tools, hashes account passwords with 3DES and consequently limits effective password lengths to eight characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to successfully conduct brute-force password attacks.
Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
