Detail

The run_coprocess function in pam_xauth.c in the pam_xauth module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before 1.1.2 does not check the return values of the setuid, setgid, and setgroups system calls, which might allow local users to read arbitrary files by executing a program that relies on the pam_xauth PAM check.

Id Description
68994 Linux-PAM pam_xauth Module run_coprocess() Function Process Limit Bypass

Linux-PAM contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when the "pam_xauth" module incorrectly checks the return values of the "setuid()" and "setgid()" functions when dropping privileges, allowing a remote attacker to gain escalated privileges.
