Subject: MDKSA-2003:017 - Updated pam packages fix root authorization handling in pam_xauth module

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           pam
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:017
Date:                   February 18th, 2003

Affected versions:      8.1, 8.2, 9.0, Multi Network Firewall 8.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Andreas Beck discovered that the pam_xauth module would forward
 authorization information from the root account to unprivileged users.  
 This can be exploited by a local attacker to gain access to the root 
 user's X session.  In order for it to be successfully exploited, the 
 attacker would have to somehow get the root user to su to the account 
 belonging to the attacker.
