    An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes is now available.

    Description:

    This update for shadow fixes several issues.

    This security issue was fixed:

    - CVE-2017-12424: The newusers tool could have been forced to manipulate
    internal data structures in ways unintended by the authors. Malformed
    input may have lead to crashes (with a buffer overflow or other memory
    corruption) or
    other unspecified behaviors (bsc#1052261).

    These non-security issues were fixed:

    - bsc#1023895: Fixed man page to not contain invalid options and also
    prevent warnings when using these options in certain settings
    - bsc#980486: Reset user in /var/log/tallylog because of the usage of
    pam_tally2
