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...

CVE-2026-48064 pam_usb: PAM_RHOST check skipped when deny_remote=false allows XDMCP authentication bypass

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-2026-48064

CVE-2026-48064

Summary: pam_usb prior to 0.9.1 allowed a remote XDMCP session to bypass USB authentication when deny_remote=false, because the PAM_RHOST check was gated inside the deny_remote branch. Technical details (supported): pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux via removable media. In affect...

CVE-2026-48065 pam_usb: Unchecked integer multiplication before xmalloc() in conf.c allows heap-based buffer overflow on 32-bit targets

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.1, src/conf.c allocates heap memory proportional to ndevices, a count derived from libxml2 XPath evaluation of the config file, without first enforcing an upper bound. On 32-bit targets armv7l, i686 --...

CVE-2026-48065

The CVE-2026-48065 issue affects pam_usb for Linux prior to version 0.9.1. In src/conf.c, heap memory is allocated as size proportional to n_devices (derived from libxml2 XPath on the config file) without an upper bound. On 32-bit targets (armv7l, i686 listed in the Makefile), n_devices * sizeof(...

CVE-2026-48066 pam_usb: Thread-unsafe static pointer in log.c causes data race under concurrent PAM authentication

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.1, src/log.c contains a process-wide static pointer that is written on every PAM invocation with the address of a stack-local variable. This violates the PAM re-entrancy requirement and creates a data...

CVE-2026-48066

pam_usb fixes a thread-unsafe behavior: before 0.9.1, src/log.c used a process-wide static pointer written on every PAM invocation to a stack-local address, creating a data race when PAM is invoked concurrently by multiple threads. The issue is resolved in version 0.9.1. Affected component: pam_u...

CVE-2026-48792

The connected sources confirm a vulnerability in pam_usb for Linux prior to 0.9.1: evdev.c silently ignores EACCES when opening /dev/input/event* nodes, causing pusb_has_virtual_input_device() to incorrectly report no virtual devices even if opens fail due to insufficient permissions. As a result...
