CVE-2010-4706 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable pam to version 1.1.3-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pam package and not the pam package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
The pam_sm_close_session function in pam_xauth.c in the pam_xauth module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) 1.1.2 and earlier does not properly handle a failure to determine a certain target uid, which might allow local users to delete unintended files by executing a program that relies on the pam_xauth PAM check.
