The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201206-31 (Linux-PAM: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Linux-PAM. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could use specially crafted files to cause a buffer       overflow, possibly resulting in privilege escalation or Denial of       Service. Furthermore, a local attacker could execute specially crafted       programs or symlink attacks, possibly resulting in data loss or       disclosure of sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The pam_env module is vulnerable to a stack overflow (CVE-2011-3148) and a DoS condition (CVE-2011-3149) when parsing users .pam_environment files. Additionally a missing return value check inside pam_xauth has been fixed. (CVE-2010-3316)

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2013-122:01 advisory.

    PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system security tool that allows system administrators to set     authentication policy without having to recompile programs that handle authentication.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2011-3148     Stack-based buffer overflow in the _assemble_line function in modules/pam_env/pam_env.c in Linux-PAM (aka     pam) before 1.1.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary     code via a long string of white spaces at the beginning of the ~/.pam_environment file.
     CVE-2011-3149     The _expand_arg function in the pam_env module (modules/pam_env/pam_env.c) in Linux-PAM (aka pam) before     1.1.5 does not properly handle when environment variable expansion can overflow, which allows local users     to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the pam_env module parsed users' '~/.pam_environment' files. If an application's PAM configuration contained 'user_readenv=1' (this is not the default), a local attacker could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, escalate their privileges. (CVE-2011-3148)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the pam_env module expanded certain environment variables. If an application's PAM configuration contained 'user_readenv=1' (this is not the default), a local attacker could use this flaw to cause the application to enter an infinite loop. (CVE-2011-3149)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2013-0521 advisory.

    - fix environment file handling problems - CVE-2011-3148 (#746619) and       CVE-2011-3148 (#746620)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
