It is very questionable whether this problem is even a security vulnerability. As the attacker cannot manipulate the configuration files it would basically require a misconfiguration of pam for the attack to be possible. pam-1.0.4-2.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pam-1.0.4-2.fc9 pam-1.0.4-2.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pam-1.0.4-2.fc10 pam-1.0.4-3.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pam-1.0.4-3.fc9 pam-1.0.4-4.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pam-1.0.4-4.fc9 pam-1.0.4-4.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pam-1.0.4-4.fc10 pam-1.0.4-4.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. pam-1.0.4-4.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Closing not-a-security-bug based on comment #1. Statement: Red Hat does not consider this issue to be a security vulnerability. Affected function is only used to parse PAM configuration files and this bug can only be triggered by specific configuration created by the system administrator. |
