It was discovered that libpam4j, a Java binding for libpam.so, does not call pam_acct_mgmt(). As a consequence, the PAM account is not properly verified. Any user with a valid password but with deactivated or disabled account was able to log in.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 1.4-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpam4j packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
