Detail
| Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in pam: The pam_xauth module did not verify the return values of the setuid() and setgid() system calls. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to execute the xauth command with root privileges and make it read an arbitrary input file (CVE-2010-3316). The pam_mail module used root privileges while accessing users' files. In certain configurations, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to obtain limited information about files or directories that they do not have access to (CVE-2010-3435). The pam_namespace module executed the external script namespace.init with an unchanged environment inherited from an application calling PAM. In cases where such an environment was untrusted (for example, when pam_namespace was configured for setuid applications such as su or sudo), a local, unprivileged user could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges (CVE-2010-3853). Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program.

| Description: | The (1) pam_env and (2) pam_mail 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 symlink attack on the .pam_environment file in a user's home directory. | ||

|---|---|
| 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. |
| 68993 | Linux-PAM pam_mail Module Arbitrary Mail File Enumeration Linux-PAM contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. Â The issue is triggered when an error in the 'pam_mail' module occurs when dropping privileges, which will disclose the presence of certain mail files to a local attacker. |

The issue is triggered when an error in the 'pam_namespace' module when executing the namespace init script occurs, allowing a local attacker to use crafted environment variables when running a setuid program to gain elevated privileges. |
