    Package        : pam-u2f     Version        : 1.1.0-1.1+deb11u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-23013

    Matthias Gerstner reported that pam-u2f, a PAM module which allows to     use U2F (Universal 2nd Factor) devices in the PAM authentication stack,     does not properly handle PAM_IGNORE return values, allowing to bypass     the second factor or password-less login without inserting the proper     device.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     1.1.0-1.1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pam-u2f packages.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7806-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that PAM/U2F could allow for authentication bypass in some configurations. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202501-04 (Yubico pam-u2f: Partial Authentication Bypass)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Yubico pam-u2f. Please review the CVE identifiers     referenced below for details.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Gentoo Linux 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 Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In Yubico pam-u2f before 1.3.1, local privilege escalation can sometimes occur. This product implements a     Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) that can be deployed to support authentication using a YubiKey or     other FIDO compliant authenticators on macOS or Linux. This software package has an issue that allows for     an authentication bypass in some configurations. An attacker would require the ability to access the     system as an unprivileged user. Depending on the configuration, the attacker may also need to know the     user's password. (CVE-2025-23013)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
