CVE-2022-25327 (GCVE-0-2022-25327)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-02-25 11:00 – Updated: 2025-04-21 13:56
VLAI?
Summary
The PAM module for fscrypt doesn't adequately validate fscrypt metadata files, allowing users to create malicious metadata files that prevent other users from logging in. A local user can cause a denial of service by creating a fscrypt metadata file that prevents other users from logging into the system. We recommend upgrading to version 0.3.3 or above
Severity ?
5.5 (Medium)
