FKIE_CVE-2024-37408
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-06-08 14:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:38
Severity
Summary
fprintd through 1.94.3 lacks a security attention mechanism, and thus unexpected actions might be authorized by "auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so" for Sudo. NOTE: the supplier disputes this because they believe issue resolution would involve modifying the PAM configuration to restrict pam_fprintd.so to front-ends that implement a proper attention mechanism, not modifying pam_fprintd.so or fprintd.
