Last modified

CVE-2010-3316 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The run_coprocess function in pam_xauth.c in the pam_xauth module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before 1.1.2 does not check the return values of the setuid, setgid, and setgroups system calls, which might allow local users to read arbitrary files by executing a program that relies on the pam_xauth PAM check.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
