CVE-2010-4706
linux-pam linux-pam: no CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The pam_sm_close_session function in pam_xauth.c in the pam_xauth module in Linux-PAM (aka pam) 1.1.2 and earlier does not properly handle a failure to determine a certain target uid, which might allow local users to delete unintended files by executing a program that relies on the pam_xauth PAM check.
