It was discovered that GNOME Keyring incorrectly cleared out credentials supplied to the PAM module. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to discover login credentials.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
