MDVSA-2010:220: [MDVSA-2010:220] pam - Fix for Multiple Vulnerabilities
Problem Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in pam:
The pam_xauth module did not verify the return values of the setuid()
and setgid() system calls. A local, unprivileged user could use this
flaw to execute the xauth command with root privileges and make it
read an arbitrary input file (CVE-2010-3316).
The pam_mail module used root privileges while accessing users'
files. In certain configurations, a local, unprivileged user could
use this flaw to obtain limited information about files or directories
that they do not have access to (CVE-2010-3435).
