Issue Date: 2013-02-21
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-3148
CVE-2011-3149
—
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the pam_env module
parsed users’ “~/.pam_environment” files. If an application’s PAM configuration
contained “user_readenv=1” (this is not the default), a local attacker could
use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, escalate their privileges.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the pam_env module expanded
