CVE-2026-47272

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, the pusbpadcompare function in src/pad.c only verified that the user-side pad /.pamusb/device.pad could be read, but did not enforce that the system-side pad the pad file on the USB device was also...

EUVD-2026-32657

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-2026-44713

Pam_usb vulnerability: in versions prior to 0.8.7, src/tmux.c reads the TMUX environment variable, splits on commas, and interpolates the socket-path directly into a shell command passed to popen(), placing the value inside double quotes without sanitisation. This allows an attacker-controlled va...

CVE-2026-44713 pam_usb: Command injection via $TMUX environment variable leads to RCE as root

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-2026-47269 pam_usb: deny_remote feature incorrectly classifies IPv4-mapped IPv6 remote connections as local

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-2026-47269

CVE-2026-47269 affects pam_usb on Linux. The deny_remote feature checks utmpx ut_addr_v6[0] to identify remote sessions, but IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses cause the check to fail (ut_addr_v6[0] == 0, while the IPv4 address is in ut_addr_v6[3]), so remote SSH connections can be treated as local. As a...

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-2026-47270

CVE-2026-47270 affects the pam_usb PAM module used for Linux hardware authentication. The denial logic (deny_remote) uses non-reentrant strtok(), with three functions sharing a global token pointer; in multi-threaded authentication (e.g., long-lived display managers like GDM), two concurrent auth...

CVE-2026-47271

The CVE affects pam_usb prior to version 0.9.0, where out-of-memory guards in src/mem.c (xmalloc/xrealloc/xstrdup) were removed when NDEBUG is defined. With no NULL checks after allocation, NULL pointer dereferences occur, causing a crash in the PAM module loaded by sudo or login and leading to l...

CVE-2026-47272 pam_usb: OTP pad authentication bypass via missing system pad check and uninitialized RNG buffer

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, the pusbpadcompare function in src/pad.c only verified that the user-side pad /.pamusb/device.pad could be read, but did not enforce that the system-side pad the pad file on the USB device was also...

CVE-2026-47273 pam_usb: XPath injection via PAM-supplied identifiers in pam_usb configuration queries

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, pamusb builds XPath expressions from user-supplied identifiers PAM username, service name and device-supplied identifiers USB device serial, model, vendor to query /etc/pamusb.conf. These identifiers...

CVE-2026-47274 pam_usb: Uncontrolled search path in pam_usb tools allows privilege escalation via PATH manipulation

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...
