Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Debian shadow package versions prior to 1:4.5-1
Description
The issue is related to the incorrect listing of pts/0 and pts/1 as physical terminals in /etc/securetty, which allows local users to login as password-less users even if they are connected by non-physical means such as SSH. This bypasses PAM's nullok secure configuration and notably affects environments like virtual machines with default blank root passwords, enabling local users to escalate privileges.
Recommendations
For Debian shadow package versions prior to 1:4.5-1, update to version 1:4.5-1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider modifying the /etc/securetty file to correctly reflect physical terminals, thereby preventing password-less login via non-physical means. Restrict access to virtual machines with default blank root passwords to minimize the risk of exploitation.
