NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pam-extra-32bit package and not the pam-extra-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability was found in PAM. The secret information is stored in memory, where the attacker can trigger the victim program to execute by sending characters to its standard input (stdin). As this occurs, the attacker can train the branch predictor to execute an ROP chain speculatively. This flaw could result in leaked passwords, such as those found in /etc/shadow while performing authentications.
