Moderate
ebiggers published GHSA-p93v-m2r2-4387 Feb 26, 2022

Package

gomod fscrypt (Go)

Affected versions

<= 0.3.2

Patched versions

0.3.3

Description

The PAM module for fscrypt through v0.3.2 doesn't adequately validate fscrypt metadata files, allowing users to create malicious metadata files that prevent other users from logging in. A local user can cause a denial of service by creating a fscrypt metadata file that prevents other users from logging into the system. We recommend upgrading to v0.3.3 or above.
