EulerOS 2.0 SP12 : pam (EulerOS-SA-2025-1178)

high Nessus Plugin ID 216013

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the pam package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

A flaw was found in pam_access, where certain rules in its configuration file are mistakenly treated as hostnames. This vulnerability allows attackers to trick the system by pretending to be a trusted hostname, gaining unauthorized access. This issue poses a risk for systems that rely on this feature to control who can access certain services or terminals.(CVE-2024-10963)

A vulnerability was found in PAM. The secret information is stored in memory, where the attacker can trigger the victim program to execute by sending characters to its standard input (stdin). As this occurs, the attacker can train the branch predictor to execute an ROP chain speculatively. This flaw could result in leaked passwords, such as those found in /etc/shadow while performing authentications.(CVE-2024-10041)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS pam security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected pam packages.
