Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2016-05-01 01:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:34
Severity
Summary
The do_setup_env function in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH through 7.2p2, when the UseLogin feature is enabled and PAM is configured to read .pam_environment files in user home directories, allows local users to gain privileges by triggering a crafted environment for the /bin/login program, as demonstrated by an LD_PRELOAD environment variable.
