-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ============================================================================= FreeBSD-SA-21:03.pam_login_access Security Advisory The FreeBSD Project Topic: login.access fails to apply rules Category: core Module: pam_login_access Announced: 2021-02-24 Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD. Corrected: 2021-02-24 01:20:53 UTC (stable/13, 13.0-STABLE) 2021-02-24 01:42:42 UTC (releng/13.0, 13.0-BETA3-p1) 2021-02-24 01:40:36 UTC (stable/12, 12.2-STABLE) 2021-02-24 01:44:01 UTC (releng/12.2, 12.2-RELEASE-p4) 2021-02-24 01:39:53 UTC (stable/11, 11.4-STABLE) 2021-02-24 01:41:53 UTC (releng/11.4, 11.4-RELEASE-p8) CVE Name: CVE-2020-25580 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit . I. Background login.access(5) is a system configuration file allowing administrators to define policy around system login access by specific users and groups. It is implemented by a pam(3) module, pam_login_access(8), and is configured by default for accesses via sshd(8), telnetd(8) and the system console. II. Problem Description A regression in the login.access(5) rule processor has the effect of causing rules to fail to match even when they should not. This means that rules denying access may be ignored. III. Impact The configuration in login.access(5) may not be applied, permitting login access to users even when the system is configured to deny it. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. Systems not relying on login.access(5) to enforce custom login policies are not affected. V. Solution Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date. Perform one of the following: 1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install 2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:03/pam_login_access.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:03/pam_login_access.patch.asc # gpg --verify pam_login_access.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in . Restart all daemons that use the library, or reboot the system. VI. Correction details The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch.
