- Details
-
The pamsmclosesession function in pamxauth.c in the pamxauth module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) 1.1.2 and earlier does not properly handle a failure to determine a certain target uid, which might allow local users to delete unintended files by executing a program that relies on the pamxauth PAM check.
