"According to the versions of the pam package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is
affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A vulnerability was found in PAM. The secret information is stored in memory, where the attacker can
    trigger the victim program to execute by sending characters to its standard input (stdin). As this occurs,
    the attacker can train the branch predictor to execute an ROP chain speculatively. This flaw could result
    in leaked passwords, such as those found in /etc/shadow while performing authentications.(CVE-2024-10041)

    A flaw was found in pam_access, where certain rules in its configuration file are mistakenly treated as
    hostnames. This vulnerability allows attackers to trick the system by pretending to be a trusted hostname,
    gaining unauthorized access. This issue poses a risk for systems that rely on this feature to control who
    can access certain services or terminals.(CVE-2024-10963)

    A flaw was found in linux-pam. The pam_namespace module may improperly handle user-controlled paths,
    allowing local users to exploit symlink attacks and race conditions to elevate their privileges to root.
    This CVE provides a 'complete' fix for CVE-2025-6020.(CVE-2025-8941)

    A flaw was found in linux-pam. The module pam_namespace may use access user-controlled paths without
    proper protection, allowing local users to elevate their privileges to root via multiple symlink attacks
    and race conditions.(CVE-2025-6020)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization pam security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
