Subject: [RHSA-2000:120-04] Updated PAM packages available.
Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated PAM packages available.
Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:120-04
Issue date: 2000-11-29
Updated on: 2000-12-01
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: PAM
Cross references: N/A
1. Topic:
Updated PAM packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.x and
7.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.0 – i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.1 – i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2 – i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2EE – i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 7.0 – i386, alpha
Red Hat Linux 7.0J – i386, alpha
3. Problem description:
Red Hat Linux 7 and a previous PAM errata issued for Red Hat
Linux 6.x both included a new module, pam_localuser. Although this
module is not used in any default configurations, the version
included was vulnerable to a buffer overflow. These updates remove
this vulnerability and fix various other bugs.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
for more info):
14740 – pam_cracklib: ‘similiar()’ broken
16456 – files missing from pam-0.72-20
18055 – Passwords can’t be changed
20542 – PAM doesn’t set RLIMIT_LOCKS when compiled against
glibc-2.2 headers
21467 – /etc/security/access.conf error in example
