pam_timestamp: fix potential directory traversal issue (ticket #27)
pam_timestamp uses values of PAM_RUSER and PAM_TTY as components of the timestamp pathname it creates, so extra care should be taken to avoid potential directory traversal issues. * modules/pam_timestamp/pam_timestamp.c (check_tty): Treat "." and ".." tty values as invalid. (get_ruser): Treat "." and ".." ruser values, as well as any ruser value containing '/', as invalid. Fixes CVE-2014-2583. Reported-by: Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>
