CVE-2001-1459
CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenSSH versions 2.9 and earlier
Description
The issue allows local users to bypass resource limits (rlimits) set in pam.d because OpenSSH does not initiate a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) session when commands are executed with no pty.
Recommendations
For OpenSSH versions 2.9 and earlier, consider updating to a version that initiates a PAM session for all commands, including those executed with no pty, to enforce resource limits set in pam.d.
