The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2010-0819 advisory.

    - fix insecure dropping of priviledges in pam_xauth       and pam_mail - CVE-2010-3316 (#637898), CVE-2010-3435 (#641335)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06 (SP), has pam packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - pam_namespace.c in the pam_namespace module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before 1.1.3 uses the environment of     the invoking application or service during execution of the namespace.init script, which might allow local     users to gain privileges by running a setuid program that relies on the pam_namespace PAM check, as     demonstrated by the sudo program. (CVE-2010-3853)

  - pam_unix.so in Linux-PAM 0.99.7.0 allows context-dependent attackers to log into accounts whose password     hash, as stored in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, has only two characters. (CVE-2007-0003)

  - Linux-PAM before 1.0.4 does not enforce the minimum password age (MINDAYS) as specified in /etc/shadow,     which allows local users to bypass intended security policy and change their passwords sooner than     specified. (CVE-2009-0579)

  - The run_coprocess function in pam_xauth.c in the pam_xauth module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before 1.1.2 does     not check the return values of the setuid, setgid, and setgroups system calls, which might allow local     users to read arbitrary files by executing a program that relies on the pam_xauth PAM check.
    (CVE-2010-3316)

  - The (1) pam_env and (2) pam_mail modules in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before 1.1.2 use root privileges during     read access to files and directories that belong to arbitrary user accounts, which might allow local users     to obtain sensitive information by leveraging this filesystem activity, as demonstrated by a symlink     attack on the .pam_environment file in a user's home directory. (CVE-2010-3435)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

USN-1140-1 fixed vulnerabilities in PAM. A regression was found that caused cron to stop working with a 'Module is unknown' error. As a result, systems configured with automatic updates will not receive updates until cron is restarted, these updates are installed or the system is rebooted. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Marcus Granado discovered that PAM incorrectly handled configuration files with non-ASCII usernames. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service, or possibly obtain login access with a different users username. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
(CVE-2009-0887)

It was discovered that the PAM pam_xauth, pam_env and pam_mail modules incorrectly handled dropping privileges when performing operations. A local attacker could use this flaw to read certain arbitrary files, and access other sensitive information. (CVE-2010-3316, CVE-2010-3430, CVE-2010-3431, CVE-2010-3435)

It was discovered that the PAM pam_namespace module incorrectly cleaned the environment during execution of the namespace.init script. A local attacker could use this flaw to possibly gain privileges. (CVE-2010-3853)

It was discovered that the PAM pam_xauth module incorrectly handled certain failures. A local attacker could use this flaw to delete certain unintended files. (CVE-2010-4706)

It was discovered that the PAM pam_xauth module incorrectly verified certain file properties. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4707).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities, in several third-party components and libraries :

  - bind
  - pam
  - popt
  - rpm
  - rpm-libs
  - rpm-python
  - Service Location Protocol daemon (SLPD)

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in pam :

The pam_xauth module did not verify the return values of the setuid() and setgid() system calls. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to execute the xauth command with root privileges and make it read an arbitrary input file (CVE-2010-3316).

The pam_mail module used root privileges while accessing users' files.
In certain configurations, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to obtain limited information about files or directories that they do not have access to (CVE-2010-3435).

The pam_namespace module executed the external script namespace.init with an unchanged environment inherited from an application calling PAM. In cases where such an environment was untrusted (for example, when pam_namespace was configured for setuid applications such as su or sudo), a local, unprivileged user could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges (CVE-2010-3853).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&amp;products_id=4 90

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

This update fixes moderate vulnerabilities in pam_env, pam_namespace, pam_mail, and pam_xauth modules. Default configurations (or configurations generated by authconfig) are not affected by the pam_mail and pam_namespace vulnerabilities.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The (1) pam_env and (2) pam_mail modules in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before 1.1.2 use root privileges during     read access to files and directories that belong to arbitrary user accounts, which might allow local users     to obtain sensitive information by leveraging this filesystem activity, as demonstrated by a symlink     attack on the .pam_environment file in a user's home directory. (CVE-2010-3435)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Updated pam packages that fix three security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) provide a system whereby administrators can set up authentication policies without having to recompile programs that handle authentication.

It was discovered that the pam_namespace module executed the external script namespace.init with an unchanged environment inherited from an application calling PAM. In cases where such an environment was untrusted (for example, when pam_namespace was configured for setuid applications such as su or sudo), a local, unprivileged user could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3853)

It was discovered that the pam_mail module used root privileges while accessing users' files. In certain configurations, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to obtain limited information about files or directories that they do not have access to.
(CVE-2010-3435)

It was discovered that the pam_xauth module did not verify the return values of the setuid() and setgid() system calls. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to execute the xauth command with root privileges and make it read an arbitrary input file.
(CVE-2010-3316)

Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team for reporting the CVE-2010-3435 issue.

All pam users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
