GHSA-65hr-mfq3-4rjr PUBLISHED CVSS 6.900000095367432 MEDIUM

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 14, 2022

The privilege-dropping implementation in the (1) pam_env and (2) pam_mail modules in Linux-PAM (aka pam) 1.1.2 does not check the return value of the setfsuid system call, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging an unintended uid, as demonstrated by a symlink attack on the .pam_environment file in a user's home directory. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2010-3435.
