Debian Security Advisory DSA 177-1 security@debian.org

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : pam
Vulnerability : serious security violation
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
Distributions : unstable only
Paul Aurich and Samuele Giovanni Tonon discovered a serious security
violation in PAM. Disabled passwords (i.e. those with '*' in the
password file) were classified as empty password and access to such
accounts is granted through the regular login procedure (getty,
telnet, ssh). This works for all such accounts whose shell field in
the password file does not refer to /bin/false. Only version 0.76 of
PAM seems to be affected by this problem.
This problem has been fixed in version 0.76-6 for the current unstable
distribution (sid). The stable distribution (woody), the old stable
distribution (potato) and the testing distribution (sarge) are not
affected by this problem.
As stated in the Debian security team FAQ (see URL in header), testing
and unstable are rapidly moving targets and the security team does not
have the resources needed to properly support those. This security
advisory is an exception to that rule, due to the seriousness of the
problem.
We recommend that you upgrade your PAM packages immediately if you are
running Debian/unstable.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
