Description Murray McAllister 2014-11-07 02:10:05 UTC

It was reported that the OATH PAM module did not check if a strdup() allocation succeeded:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q4/543

If they failed, it could cause the application to crash (NULL pointer dereference).

CVE request:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q4/543

In low memory situations where strdup() may fail, it may already be an unrecoverable situation for the application.
