Vulnerability Title
pam_usb: NULL pointer dereference from UDisks device fields causes PAM crash and login denial-of-service
Source: NVD (National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, src/device.c passed the return values of udisks_drive_get_serial(), udisks_drive_get_vendor(), and udisks_drive_get_model() directly to strcmp() without NULL checks. The GIO/UDisks API documentation states these accessors can return NULL for devices that do not expose the corresponding field. Passing NULL to strcmp() is undefined behaviour (typically a SIGSEGV). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.7.

pam_usb 代码问题漏洞
Source: CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
pam_usb是McDope个人开发者的一个基于USB设备的Linux硬件认证工具。 pam_usb 0.8.7之前版本存在代码问题漏洞，该漏洞源于src/device.c将udisks_drive_get_serial()、udisks_drive_get_vendor()和udisks_drive_get_model()的返回值直接传递给strcmp()而未进行NULL检查，导致传递NULL给strcmp()引发未定义行为。
