This issue was patched in ELSA-2024-2438.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pam-docs package and not the pam-docs package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

linux-pam (aka Linux PAM) before 1.6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (blocked login process) via mkfifo because the openat call (for protect_dir) lacks O_DIRECTORY.
