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...

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...

Privilege escalation

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...

Privilege escalation

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-2010-3435

CVE-2010-3435 affects Linux-PAM (pam) 0.99.x through 1.1.1, where the (1) pam_env and (2) pam_mail modules perform read access with root privileges to files/dirs owned by arbitrary users. This can enable local users to obtain sensitive information via filesystem activity, demonstrated by a symlin...
