CVE-2017-20002 (GCVE-0-2017-20002)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-03-17 06:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 21:45
VLAI?
Summary
The Debian shadow package before 1:4.5-1 for Shadow incorrectly lists pts/0 and pts/1 as physical terminals in /etc/securetty. This allows local users to login as password-less users even if they are connected by non-physical means such as SSH (hence bypassing PAM's nullok_secure configuration). This notably affects environments such as virtual machines automatically generated with a default blank root password, allowing all local users to escalate privileges.
Severity ?
