Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) provide a system to set up authentication policies without the need to recompile programs to handle authentication.

Security Fix(es):

* pam: allowing unprivileged user to block another user namespace (CVE-2024-22365)

Affected: Alpaquita:23: linux-pam, Alpaquita:stream: linux-pam

Affected: CleanStart: linux-pam

Security vulnerability affects the linux-pam package. linux-pam (aka Linux PAM) before 1.

linux-pam (aka Linux PAM) before 1.6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (blocked login process) via mkfifo because the openat call (for protect_dir) lacks O_DIRECTORY.

json-c through 0.14 has an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write via a large JSON file, as demonstrated by printbuf_memappend. A memory overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem, in the way a user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. This flaw allows a local user to starve the resources, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS. When sending malicous data to kernel by ioctl cmd FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO,kernel will write memory out of bounds. In gc_data_segment in fs/f2fs/gc.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.3, special files are not considered, leading to a move_data_page NULL pointer dereference. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The existing KVM SEV API has a vulnerability that allows a non-root (host) user-level application to crash the host kernel by creating a confidential guest VM inst…

PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system of libraries that handle the authentication tasks of applications (services) on the system. Security Fix(es): A vulnerability was found in Linux PAM. An unprivileged user that is not yet in a corresponding mount namespace with ~/tmp mounted as a polyinstantiated dir can place a FIFO there, and a subsequent attempt to login as this user with `pam_namespace` configured will cause the `openat()` in `protect_dir()` to block the attempt, causing a local denial of service.(CVE-2024-22365)

pam-1.6.0-1.1 on GA media

A crafted self-referential DOS partition table will cause all Das U-Boot versions through 2019.07-rc4 to infinitely recurse, causing the stack to grow infinitely and eventually either crash or overwrite other data. In Das U-Boot versions 2016.11-rc1 through 2019.07-rc4, an underflow can cause memcpy() to overwrite a very large amount of data (including the whole stack) while reading a crafted ext4 filesystem. Das U-Boot versions 2016.09 through 2019.07-rc4 can memset() too much data while reading a crafted ext4 filesystem, which results in a stack buffer overflow and likely code execution. An issue was discovered in Das U-Boot through 2019.07. There is an unbounded memcpy when parsing a UDP packet due to a net_process_received_packet integer underflow during an nc_input_packet call. An issue was discovered in Das U-Boot through 2019.07. There is an unbounded memcpy with an unvalidated length at nfs_readlink_reply, in the "if" block after calculating the new path length. An issue was discovered in Das U-Boot through 2019.07. There is an unbounded memcpy with a failed length check at nfs_read_reply when calling store_block in the NFSv2 case. An issue was discovered in Das U-Boot through 2019.07. There is an unbounded memcpy with unvalidated length at nfs_readlink_reply in the "else" block after calculating the new path length. An issue was discovered in Das U-Boot through 2019.07. There is an unbounded memcpy with a failed length check at nfs_lookup_reply. An issue was discove…

linux-pam (aka Linux PAM) before 1.6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (blocked login process) via mkfifo because the openat call (for protect_dir) lacks O_DIRECTORY.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Red Hat Enterprise Linux ausnutzen, um einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu erzeugen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, Dateien zu manipulieren oder seine Privilegien zu erweitern.
