(CVE-2009-0360).</li>
<li>Derek Chan reported that calls to
pam_setcred() are not properly handled when running setuid
(CVE-2009-0361).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker could set an environment variable to point to a
specially crafted Kerberos configuration file and launch a PAM-based
setuid application to elevate privileges, or change ownership and
overwrite arbitrary files.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
