Title: SUSE CASA Pam_Micasa Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Common Authentication Service Adapter (CASA) provides a common infrastructure for client authentication.
SUSE CASA is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue arises because the application fails to perform boundary checks before copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers.
Specifically, the vulnerability affects the 'pam_micasa' authentication module. The vendor has reported that this issue can allow remote attackers to gain superuser privileges to a vulnerable computer by executing arbitrary code.
Affected Products:
- S.u.S.E. Novell Linux Desktop 9.0.0
- S.u.S.E. Open-Enterprise-Server 9.0.0
