EMC RSA Authentication Agent for PAM 7.0 before 7.0.2.1 enforces the maximum number of login attempts within the PAM-enabled application codebase, instead of within the Agent codebase, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover correct login credentials via a brute-force attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-3271 affects EMC RSA Authentication Agent for PAM 7.0 before 7.0.2.1. Login-attempt limits were enforced by the PAM-enabled application rather than the agent, making brute-force password guessing easier for remote attackers. No active exploitation is reported in the provided sources or CISA KEV status. Organizations using RSA Authentication Agent for PAM 7.0 versions earlier than 7.0.2.1 are potentially exposed, especially where PAM-enabled services are remotely reachable. Prioritize remediation where the agent protects remote or high-value systems. The risk is credential compromise through repeated guessing, but evidence of active exploitation is not provided. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running RSA Authentication Agent for PAM 7.0.; Upgrade affected installations to version 7.0.2.1 or follow current vendor guidance.; Review externally reachable PAM-enabled authentication services..
