Title: PAM IDE-CD SG_IO Security Bypass Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is used to integrate low-level authentication with high-level APIs.

PAM is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because it fails to restrict access to recordable CD devices.

Specifically, this issue affects the 'SG_IO' functionality in 'ide_cd'. This issue allows users with read-only access to write to or erase media that is in a recordable CD drive.

Attackers can exploit this issue to tamper with writable media that is in a device.
