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 privilege-dropping implementation in the (1) pam_env and (2) pam_mail modules in Linux-PAM (aka pam) 1.1.2 does not perform the required setfsgid and setgroups system calls, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging unintended group permissions, as demonstrated by a symlink attack on the .pam_environment file in a user's home directory. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-3435.
