VULHUB ™

pamslam - vulnerability in Redhat Linux 6.1 and PAM pam_start. both 'pam' and 'userhelper' (a setuid binary that comes with the 'usermode-1.15' rpm) follow .. paths. Since pam_start calls down to _pam_add_handler(), we can get it to dlopen any file on disk. 'userhelper' being setuid means we can get root.
