Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2011-3172 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Suse Suse Linux Enterprise Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-3172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-3172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-3172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-3172/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-3172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jv5w-jhcc-wx4g","SUSE-SU-2018:1760-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10043-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SUSE Linux Enterprise","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can log into disabled accounts due to missing validation in unix2_chkpwd, requiring an OS upgrade to fix.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"suse_linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null},{"id":"CWE-304","name":"Missing Critical Step in Authentication"}],"description":"A vulnerability in pam_modules of SUSE Linux Enterprise allows attackers to log into accounts that should have been disabled.
