pam: authentication bypass
| Package(s): | pam |
CVE #(s): | |
| Created: | September 9, 2009 |
Updated: | September 9, 2009 |
| Description: |
From the Ubuntu advisory: Russell Senior discovered that the system authentication module
selection mechanism for PAM did not safely handle an empty selection.
If an administrator had specifically removed the default list of modules
or failed to chose a module when operating debconf in a very unlikely
non-default configuration, PAM would allow any authentication attempt,
which could lead to remote attackers gaining access to a system with
arbitrary privileges. |
