"An updated pam package that fixes one security issue is now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the
CVE link in the References section.

Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) provide a system whereby
administrators can set up authentication policies without having to
recompile programs to handle authentication.

It was discovered that the _unix_run_helper_binary() function of PAM's
unix_pam module could write to a blocking pipe, possibly causing the
function to become unresponsive. An attacker able to supply large
passwords to the unix_pam module could use this flaw to enumerate
valid user accounts, or cause a denial of service on the system.
(CVE-2015-3238)

Red Hat would like to thank Sebastien Macke of Trustwave SpiderLabs
for reporting this issue.

All pam users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains a backported patch to correct this issue."
