Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |

23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
The following vulnerabilities were discovered: |
41 |
|
42 |
* pam_krb5 does not properly initialize the Kerberos libraries for |
43 |
setuid use (CVE-2009-0360). |
44 |
|
45 |
* Derek Chan reported that calls to pam_setcred() are not properly |
46 |
handled when running setuid (CVE-2009-0361). |
47 |
|
48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
A local attacker could set an environment variable to point to a |
52 |
specially crafted Kerberos configuration file and launch a PAM-based |
53 |
setuid application to elevate privileges, or change ownership and |
54 |
overwrite arbitrary files. |
55 |
|
56 |
Workaround |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
|
61 |
Resolution |
62 |
========== |
63 |
|
64 |
All pam_krb5 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |
|
66 |
# emerge --sync |
67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/pam_krb5-3.12" |
