Package name ppp
Date July 10th, 2006
Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:119
Affected versions 2006.0

Problem Description

Marcus Meissner discovered that pppd's winbind plugin did not check for
the result of the setuid() call which could allow an attacker to
exploit this on systems with certain PAM limits enabled to execute the
NTLM authentication helper as root. This could possibly lead to
privilege escalation dependant upon the local winbind configuration.

Updated packages have been patched ot correct this issue.
