Linux-PAM 'pam_xauth' Module Denial of Service and Security Bypass Vulnerabilities

Linux-PAM 'pam_xauth' module is prone to denial-of-service and security-bypass vulnerabilities.

Local attackers may exploit these issues to bypass certain security restrictions or to cause denial-of-service conditions.

Linux-PAM 1.1.2 and prior versions are vulnerable.
