Updated PAM packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.x and 7.
Red Hat Linux 7 and a previous PAM errata issued for Red Hat Linux 6.x both included a new module, pam_localuser. Although this module is not used in any default configurations, the version included was vulnerable to a buffer overflow. These updates remove this vulnerability and fix various other bugs.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
