Security readout for executives and security teams
This is an old local-account risk in Red Hat Linux su/PAM behavior. A local user could make failed su password guesses disappear from logs by killing su before timeout, weakening audit trails and enabling quieter brute-force attempts. Exposure appears limited to legacy Linux systems using the affected Red Hat su/PAM behavior. The bundle names Red Hat Linux and a Bugtraq reference titled RedHat 6.1 /and others/ PAM, but does not provide definitive affected versions. Treat this as a legacy exposure and audit-control issue. It is not reported as actively exploited, but any remaining affected systems likely indicate broader unsupported-platform risk that should be addressed through retirement or vendor-supported updates. Mitigation focus: Identify any legacy Red Hat Linux or comparable PAM-based systems still in service.; Check vendor or distribution guidance for historical fixes or supported replacement packages.; Restrict local shell access to trusted users only..
