Summary
pam vulnerability
Details

USN-6588-1 fixed a vulnerability in PAM. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Matthias Gerstner discovered that the PAM pam_namespace module incorrectly handled special files when performing directory checks. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PAM to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.
