Status for pam/1.5.2-6+deb12u2

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
upstream/0001-pam_inline-introduce-pam_asprintf-pam_snprintf-and-p.patch pam_inline: introduce pam_asprintf(), pam_snprintf(), and pam_sprintf()

pam_asprintf() is essentially asprintf() with the following semantic

pam_snprintf() is essentially snprintf() with the following semantic

pam_sprintf() is essentially snprintf() but with a check that the buffer
is an array, and with an automatically calculated buffer size.

Use of these helpers would make error checking simpler.

upstream/0002-pam_namespace-from-v1.7.1.patch pam_namespace from v1.7.1
Pull in pam_namespace from v1.7.1. We did not have any local changes,
and this includes the fix for CVE-2025-6020.

The commits fall into the following categories:
* specific to this security issue

* error handling issues that are very likely correct and that it is
easier to take than to convince ourselves cannot be exploited in their
own right.

* Cleanup that made the patch for this security issue easier to audit
and that created abstractions needed by the patch for this security
issue. I.E. it's obvious that since the issue was reported the
maintainers and reporters were working on cleaning up the code to get
a cleaner patch to this issue.

* harmless (replacing needless asprintf with strdup)

0004-configure.ac-secure-memory-erasure.patch configure.ac: secure memory erasure

time.
