==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 25.04
- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

PAM could be made to run programs as an administrator.

Software Description:

Details:

Olivier BAL-PETRE discovered that the PAM pam_namespace module incorrectly
handled user-controlled paths. In environments where pam_namespace is used,
a local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate their privileges
to root.
