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.

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7761-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the PAM pam_access module incorrectly parsed certain rules as hostnames. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof hostnames and bypass access restrictions.

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

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has pam packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - linux-pam (aka Linux PAM) before 1.6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (blocked login     process) via mkfifo because the openat call (for protect_dir) lacks O_DIRECTORY. (CVE-2024-22365)

  - 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)

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20230302.102005. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20230302.103032 advisory.

  - In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containing <option>     elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods     (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.
    (CVE-2020-11023)

  - A flaw was found in rsync. When using the `--safe-links` option, the rsync client fails to properly verify     if a symbolic link destination sent from the server contains another symbolic link within it. This results     in a path traversal vulnerability, which may lead to arbitrary file write outside the desired directory.
    (CVE-2024-12088)

  - A vulnerability was found in Unbound due to incorrect default permissions, allowing any process outside     the unbound group to modify the unbound runtime configuration. If a process can connect over localhost to     port 8953, it can alter the configuration of unbound.service. This flaw allows an unprivileged attacker to     manipulate a running instance, potentially altering forwarders, allowing them to track all queries     forwarded by the local resolver, and, in some cases, disrupting resolving altogether. (CVE-2024-1488)

  - NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.21.0 contains a vulnerability when handling replies with     very large RRsets that it needs to perform name compression for. Malicious upstreams responses with very     large RRsets can cause Unbound to spend a considerable time applying name compression to downstream     replies. This can lead to degraded performance and eventually denial of service in well orchestrated     attacks. The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious actor querying Unbound for the specially     crafted contents of a malicious zone with very large RRsets. Before Unbound replies to the query it will     try to apply name compression which was an unbounded operation that could lock the CPU until the whole     packet was complete. Unbound version 1.21.1 introduces a hard limit on the number of name compression     calculations it is willing to do per packet. Packets that need more compression will result in semi-     compressed packets or truncated packets, even on TCP for huge messages, to avoid locking the CPU for long.
    This change should not affect normal DNS traffic. (CVE-2024-8508)

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in rsync. It stems from behavior enabled by the `--inc-recursive`     option, a default-enabled option for many client options and can be enabled by the server even if not     explicitly enabled by the client. When using the `--inc-recursive` option, a lack of proper symlink     verification coupled with deduplication checks occurring on a per-file-list basis could allow a server to     write files outside of the client's intended destination directory. A malicious server could write     malicious files to arbitrary locations named after valid directories/paths on the client. (CVE-2024-12087)

  - Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. Prior to versions 1.14.0 and     1.15.10, a malicious or compromised Flatpak app using persistent directories could access and write files     outside of what it would otherwise have access to, which is an attack on integrity and confidentiality.
    When `persistent=subdir` is used in the application permissions (represented as `--persist=subdir` in the     command-line interface), that means that an application which otherwise doesn't have access to the real     user home directory will see an empty home directory with a writeable subdirectory `subdir`. Behind the     scenes, this directory is actually a bind mount and the data is stored in the per-application directory as     `~/.var/app/$APPID/subdir`. This allows existing apps that are not aware of the per-application directory     to still work as intended without general home directory access. However, the application does have write     access to the application directory `~/.var/app/$APPID` where this directory is stored. If the source     directory for the `persistent`/`--persist` option is replaced by a symlink, then the next time the     application is started, the bind mount will follow the symlink and mount whatever it points to into the     sandbox. Partial protection against this vulnerability can be provided by patching Flatpak using the     patches in commits ceec2ffc and 98f79773. However, this leaves a race condition that could be exploited by     two instances of a malicious app running in parallel. Closing the race condition requires updating or     patching the version of bubblewrap that is used by Flatpak to add the new `--bind-fd` option using the     patch and then patching Flatpak to use it. If Flatpak has been configured at build-time with     `-Dsystem_bubblewrap=bwrap` (1.15.x) or `--with-system-bubblewrap=bwrap` (1.14.x or older), or a similar     option, then the version of bubblewrap that needs to be patched is a system copy that is distributed     separately, typically `/usr/bin/bwrap`. This configuration is the one that is typically used in Linux     distributions. If Flatpak has been configured at build-time with `-Dsystem_bubblewrap=` (1.15.x) or with     `--without-system-bubblewrap` (1.14.x or older), then it is the bundled version of bubblewrap that is     included with Flatpak that must be patched. This is typically installed as `/usr/libexec/flatpak-bwrap`.
    This configuration is the default when building from source code. For the 1.14.x stable branch, these     changes are included in Flatpak 1.14.10. The bundled version of bubblewrap included in this release has     been updated to 0.6.3. For the 1.15.x development branch, these changes are included in Flatpak 1.15.10.
    The bundled version of bubblewrap in this release is a Meson wrap subproject, which has been updated to     0.10.0. The 1.12.x and 1.10.x branches will not be updated for this vulnerability. Long-term support OS     distributions should backport the individual changes into their versions of Flatpak and bubblewrap, or     update to newer versions if their stability policy allows it. As a workaround, avoid using applications     using the `persistent` (`--persist`) permission. (CVE-2024-42472)

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)

    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)
