   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
