Descriptions

kcheckpass passes a user-supplied argument to the pam_start function, often within a setuid environment, which allows local users to invoke any configured PAM stack, and possibly trigger unintended side effects, via an arbitrary valid PAM service name, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-4122. NOTE: the vendor indicates that the possibility of resultant privilege escalation may be "a bit far-fetched."

La aplicación de Linux kcheckpass pasa un argumento suministrado por el usuario a la función pam_start, a menudo dentro de un ambiente setuid, lo que permite a usuarios locales invocar cualquier pila PAM configurada y posiblemente provocar efectos secundarios no deseados, a través de un nombre de servicio PAM válido. Se trata de una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2011-4122. NOTA: El vendedor indica que la posibilidad de una escalada de privilegios resultante puede ser "un poco exagerada".
