Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
Title: | Ubuntu USN-1237-1 (libpam-modules) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to libpam-modules announced via advisory USN-1237-1. Details: Kees Cook discovered that the PAM pam_env module incorrectly handled certain malformed environment files. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service, or possibly gain privileges. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3148) Kees Cook discovered that the PAM pam_env module incorrectly handled variable expansion. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3149) Stephane Chazelas discovered that the PAM pam_motd module incorrectly cleaned the environment during execution of the motd scripts.
