Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Credentials management (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-3271)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
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.
