Subject: [PATCH] pam_timestamp: fix potential directory traversal issue
f2fdff
 (ticket #27)
f2fdff
f2fdff
pam_timestamp uses values of PAM_RUSER and PAM_TTY as components of
f2fdff
the timestamp pathname it creates, so extra care should be taken to
f2fdff
avoid potential directory traversal issues.
f2fdff
f2fdff
* modules/pam_timestamp/pam_timestamp.c (check_tty): Treat
f2fdff
"." and ".." tty values as invalid.
f2fdff
(get_ruser): Treat "." and ".." ruser values, as well as any ruser
f2fdff
value containing '/', as invalid.
f2fdff
f2fdff
Fixes CVE-2014-2583.
