Descriptions
The privilege-dropping implementation in the (1) pam_env and (2) pam_mail modules in Linux-PAM (aka pam) 1.1.2 does not check the return value of the setfsuid system call, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an unintended uid, as demonstrated by a symlink attack on the .pam_environment file in a user's home directory. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-3435.
La aplicación de escalada de privilegios en los modúlos (1) y (2) pam_mail de Linux-PAM (también conocido como pam) v1.1.2 no comprueba el valor devuelto de la llamada al sistema setfsuid, lo que podría permitir a usuarios locales obtener información sensible aprovechando un identificador de usuario no deseado, como lo demuestra un ataque de enlace simbólico en el archivo pam_environment en el directorio home del usuario. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2010-3435.
