CVE-2010-4707

CVE-2010-4707 affects the pam_xauth module of Linux-PAM (pam) in versions 1.1.2 and earlier. The vulnerable code path is in check_acl within pam_xauth.c, where the ACL file is not verified to be a regular file. This can allow local attackers to cause denial of service (resource consumption) by ex...

CVE-2010-4707

The checkacl function in pamxauth.c in the pamxauth module in Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.2 and earlier does not verify that a certain ACL file is a regular file, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service resource consumption via a special file...

Design/Logic Flaw

The runcoprocess function in pamxauth.c in the pamxauth module in Linux-PAM aka pam before 1.1.2 does not check the return values of the setuid, setgid, and setgroups system calls, which might allow local users to read arbitrary files by executing a program that relies on the pamxauth PAM check...

Code injection

pamnamespace.c in the pamnamespace module in Linux-PAM aka pam before 1.1.3 uses the environment of the invoking application or service during execution of the namespace.init script, which might allow local users to gain privileges by running a setuid program that relies on the pamnamespace PAM...

CVE-2010-4708

CVE-2010-4708 affects Linux-PAM (pam) up to version 1.1.2, with the pam_env module reading a user’s .pam_environment file and potentially allowing local users to run programs with an unintended environment. Connected sources corroborate the vulnerability in pam_env and indicate the affected range...

Directory traversal

The 1 pamenv and 2 pammail modules in Linux-PAM aka pam before 1.1.2 use root privileges during read access to files and directories that belong to arbitrary user accounts, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging this filesystem activity, as demonstrated by a...

CVE-2010-4706

The pamsmclosesession function in pamxauth.c in the pamxauth module in Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.2 and earlier does not properly handle a failure to determine a certain target uid, which might allow local users to delete unintended files by executing a program that relies on the pamxauth PAM check...

CVE-2010-4708

The pamenv module in Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.2 and earlier reads the .pamenvironment file in a user's home directory, which might allow local users to run programs with an unintended environment by executing a program that relies on the pamenv PAM check...

CVE-2010-3316

The runcoprocess function in pamxauth.c in the pamxauth module in Linux-PAM aka pam before 1.1.2 does not check the return values of the setuid, setgid, and setgroups system calls, which might allow local users to read arbitrary files by executing a program that relies on the pamxauth PAM check...

CVE-2010-3431

The privilege-dropping implementation in the 1 pamenv and 2 pammail modules in Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.2 does not check the return value of the setfsuid system call, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an unintended uid, as demonstrated by a symlink attack on...

CVE-2010-3853

pamnamespace.c in the pamnamespace module in Linux-PAM aka pam before 1.1.3 uses the environment of the invoking application or service during execution of the namespace.init script, which might allow local users to gain privileges by running a setuid program that relies on the pamnamespace PAM...

CVE-2010-3435

The 1 pamenv and 2 pammail modules in Linux-PAM aka pam before 1.1.2 use root privileges during read access to files and directories that belong to arbitrary user accounts, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging this filesystem activity, as demonstrated by a...

CVE-2010-3431

The privilege-dropping implementation in the 1 pamenv and 2 pammail modules in Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.2 does not check the return value of the setfsuid system call, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an unintended uid, as demonstrated by a symlink attack on...

CVE-2010-3431

The CVE-2010-3431 entry concerns Linux-PAM (pam) privilege elevation via pam_env/pam_mail. Affected if using pam before 1.1.2 where setfsuid return values are not checked, enabling local users to obtain sensitive information through root-privilege filesystem activity (notably a symlink attack on ...

CVE-2010-3430

CVE-2010-3430 documents a privilege drop flaw in Linux-PAM (pam_env and pam_mail) where setfsgid/setgroups aren’t called, enabling local users to glean sensitive info via a symlink attack on ~/.pam_environment. The issue stems from Linux-PAM before version 1.1.2 pam_env/pam_mail reading files wit...

CVE-2010-3853

CVE-2010-3853 affecting Linux-PAM’s pam_namespace.c: the pam_namespace module (Linux-PAM) before 1.1.3 uses the environment of the invoking application or service when executing namespace.init, which might allow a local user to gain privileges by running a setuid program that relies on the pam_na...

CVE-2010-3430

The privilege-dropping implementation in the 1 pamenv and 2 pammail modules in Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.2 does not perform the required setfsgid and setgroups system calls, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging unintended group permissions, as demonstrated by a...
