Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-310-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ppp' package(s) announced via the USN-310-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ppp' package(s) announced via the USN-310-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Marcus Meissner discovered that the winbind plugin of pppd does not check the result of the setuid() call. On systems that configure PAM limits for the maximum number of user processes and enable the winbind plugin, a local attacker could exploit this to execute the winbind NTLM authentication helper as root. Depending on the local winbind configuration, this could potentially lead to privilege escalation. Affected Software/OS: 'ppp' package(s) on Ubuntu 5.10, Ubuntu 6.06. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
