OESA-2025-1598 (CVE-2024-10041)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2025-06-06 11:08 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:08 – Source website

Summary

pam security update

Details

PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system of libraries that handle the authentication tasks of applications (services) on the system.

Security Fix(es):

A vulnerability was found in PAM. The secret information is stored in memory, where the attacker can trigger the victim program to execute by sending characters to its standard input (stdin). As this occurs, the attacker can train the branch predictor to execute an ROP chain speculatively. This flaw could result in leaked passwords, such as those found in /etc/shadow while performing authentications.(CVE-2024-10041)

Severity

4.7 (Medium)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
