Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2018.03 pam_ssh_agent_auth to version 0:0.9.3-84.20.amzn1 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS-2013-165.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pam_ssh_agent_auth package and not the pam_ssh_agent_auth package as distributed by Amazon-Linux.
See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2018.03 relevant fixed versions and status.
A certain Red Hat build of the pam_ssh_agent_auth module on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and Fedora Rawhide calls the glibc error function instead of the error function in the OpenSSH codebase, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from process memory or possibly gain privileges via crafted use of an application that relies on this module, as demonstrated by su and sudo.
