CVE-2026-48984 pam_usb: xfree() does not call explicit_bzero — sensitive cryptographic material may linger in freed heap

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions 0.9.1 and below, the xfree memory release helper in calls free without first zeroing the buffer contents, releasing heap-allocated buffers containing sensitive data — including one-time pad bytes read fr...

PT-2026-50771

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pam usb versions prior to 0.9.2 Description An infinite loop Denial of Service DoS occurs during the process-tree walk when a parent process exits during authentication. The function usb get process parent id fails to initialize the ppid...

PT-2026-50784

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pam usb versions prior to 0.9.2 Description A symlink race condition exists in the creation of per-device and per-user pad directories. The software employs a check-then-act pattern, where it calls lstat to verify existence and subsequently...

PT-2026-50769

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pam usb versions 0.9.1 and earlier Description The xfree memory release helper calls free without zeroing buffer contents first. This results in heap-allocated buffers containing sensitive data, such as one-time pad bytes read from disk, being...

CVE-2026-47270

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, pamusb is a PAM module loaded into the host process sudo, login, GDM, GNOME Shell. Display managers such as GDM run multiple concurrent authentication threads. Three functions used by the denyremote...

CVE-2026-47269

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, pamusb's denyremote feature checks utmpx utaddrv6 to detect whether an authentication request originates from a remote session. The outer guard was if utent-utaddrv60 != 0, which only tests the first...

CVE-2026-44711

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, symlink attacks on pad directory and pad files enable authentication bypass and root file corruption. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.7...

CVE-2026-44712

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, a crafted UUID such as $id/tmp/rce in the config causes root RCE when pamusb-conf --reset-pads is run. A USB device with a crafted filesystem UUID some controllers allow this can inject the payload a...

CVE-2026-48064

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.1, when a PAM service is configured with denyremote=false in pamusb commonly done for display managers such as gdm-password or lightdm to bypass process/TTY heuristics for local sessions, the PAMRHOST...

CVE-2026-47274

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, multiple pamusb helper tools resolved external binaries through the PATH environment variable rather than using absolute paths. An attacker who can influence the process environment during PAM...

CVE-2026-44713

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, src/tmux.c reads the user's $TMUX environment variable, splits it on commas, and interpolates the socket-path component directly into a shell command passed to popen. Because the value is placed insi...

CVE-2026-44710

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, src/device.c passed the return values of udisksdrivegetserial, udisksdrivegetvendor, and udisksdrivegetmodel directly to strcmp without NULL checks. The GIO/UDisks API documentation states these...

CVE-2026-44712 pam_usb: Shell injection via device UUID and username in pamusb-conf and pamusb-agent

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, a crafted UUID such as $id/tmp/rce in the config causes root RCE when pamusb-conf --reset-pads is run. A USB device with a crafted filesystem UUID some controllers allow this can inject the payload a...

EUVD-2026-32661

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, pamusb-pinentry reads the PINENTRYFALLBACKAPP environment variable and executes it directly without any validation. Any process that can set environment variables before pamusb-pinentry is invoked ca...
