Summary
Check for the Version of pam_mount
Insight
Insight
pam_mount 0.10 through 0.45, when luserconf is enabled, does not verify mountpoint and source ownership before mounting a user-defined volume, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a local mount. The updated packages have been patched to fix the issue.
