Improper authorization in the PAM SSH key and certificate retrieval endpoints in Devolutions Server 2026.2.11, 2026.1.22 allows an authenticated low-privileged user to disclose the private key of an SSH key or certificate PAM credential via a direct object reference to the credential identifier...

CVE-2026-54411 Linux-PAM pam_userdb Observable Timing Discrepancy in Plaintext Password Comparison

Linux-PAM through 1.7.2 contains an observable timing discrepancy CWE-208 in the pamuserdb module's plaintext-password comparison path in modules/pamuserdb/pamuserdb.c that allows a local or network-adjacent attacker able to repeatedly drive authentication through a calling service to recover the...

CVE-2026-54411

Linux-PAM up to 1.7.2 is affected by a timing side-channel in the pam_userdb plaintext-password comparison path (modules/pam_userdb/pam_userdb.c). When configured with crypt=none, an unrecognized crypt method, or without a crypt= argument, credentials are stored/compared in plaintext. The compari...
