Subject: [OE-core][scarthgap][PATCH] libpam: mark CVE-2025-6018 as not applicable
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 15:59:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021135922.17776-1-anders.heimer@est.tech> (raw)
CVE-2025-6018 is a local privilege escalation in PAM that requires
`user_readenv=1` to be enabled in the PAM configuration. The default
configuration does not enable reading user environment files (user_readenv
is 0 by default). Hence this vulnerability cannot be exploited using the
default configuration.
