Jobs start from root when pam_limits enabled

docommand.c in Vixie cron vixie-cron 4.1 does not check the return code of a setuid call, which might allow local users to gain root privileges if setuid fails in cases such as PAM failures or resource limits, as originally demonstrated by a program that exceeds the process limits as defined in...

CVE-2006-3378

CVE-2006-3378 affects the shadow passwd handling in Ubuntu 5.04–6.06 LTS, where passwd invoked with -f, -g, or -s does not check the return code of a setuid() call. This can allow local users to gain root privileges if setuid fails (e.g., due to PAM limits or resource caps). Exploitation details ...

USN-308-1: shadow vulnerability

Ilja van Sprundel discovered that passwd, when called with the -f, -g, or -s option, did not check the result of the setuid call. On systems that configure PAM limits for the maximum number of user processes, a local attacker could exploit this to execute chfn, gpasswd, or chsh with root...

CVE-2006-2194

CVE-2006-2194 affects the winbind plugin in pppd (PPP, v2.4.4 and earlier). The code does not verify the success of setuid() when dropping privileges, which can fail under PAM limits and allow a local attacker to run the winbind NTLM authentication helper with elevated privileges. Impact is local...
