Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Linux-PAM, allowing local |
19 |
attackers to possibly gain escalated privileges, cause a Denial of |
20 |
Service, corrupt data, or obtain sensitive information. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
Linux-PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is an architecture |
26 |
allowing the separation of the development of privilege granting |
27 |
software from the development of secure and appropriate authentication |
28 |
schemes. |
29 |
|
30 |
Affected packages |

Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Linux-PAM. Please |
42 |
review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A local attacker could use specially crafted files to cause a buffer |
48 |
overflow, possibly resulting in privilege escalation or Denial of |
49 |
Service. Furthermore, a local attacker could execute specially crafted |
50 |
programs or symlink attacks, possibly resulting in data loss or |
51 |
disclosure of sensitive information. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
Resolution |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
All Linux-PAM users should upgrade to the latest version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-libs/pam-1.1.5" |
65 |
|
66 |
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are |
67 |
available since November 25, 2011. It is likely that your system is |
68 |
already no longer affected by this issue. |
