(Bug 664290 - agmorgan) +* getlogin was spoofable: "/tmp/" and "/dev/" have the same number of + characters, so 'ln /dev/tty /tmp/tty1 ; bash < /tmp/tty1 ; logname' + attacks could potentially spoof pam_wheel with the 'trust' module + argument into granting access to a luser. Also, pam_unix gave + odd error messages in such a situation (logname != uid). This + problem was found by David Endler of iDefense.com (Bug 667584 - + agmorgan). +* added my new DSA public key to the pgp.keys.asc file. Also included + a signed copy of my new public key (1024D/D41A6DF2) made with my old + key (1024/2A398175). +* added "include" directive to config file syntax. + The whole idea is to create few "systemwide" pam configs and include + parts of them in application pam configs. + (patch by "Dmitry V.

Forbid paths. (Bug 1027912 - kukuk) +* pam_cracklib: Fix error in distance algorithm in the 0.9 pam_cracklib + module (Bug 1010142 - toady) +* pam_userdb: applied patch from Paul Walmsley <paul@booyaka.com> + it now indicates whether encrypted or plaintext passwords are stored + in the database needed for pam_userdb (BerliOS - toady) +* pam_group: The module should also ignore PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED to + avoid spurious errors (from Linux distributors - kukuk) +* pam_cracklib: Clear the entire options structure (from Linux + distributors - kukuk) +* pam_issue: We write a NUL to prompt_tmp[tot_size] later, so make sure + that the destination is part of the allocated block, make do_prompt + static (from Linux distributors - kukuk) +* ldconfig: Only run full ldconfig, if we don't install into a FAKEROOT + environment, else let ldconfig only create the symlinks correct + (from Linux distributors - kukuk) +* pam_unix/pam_pwdb: Use SIG_DFL instead of SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD + (from Linux distributors - kukuk) +* Add most of Steve Grubb's resource leak and other fixes (from + Linux distributors - kukuk) +* doc/Makefile: Don't include .cvsignore files in tar ball (kukuk) +* libpam_misc/misc_conv.c: Differentiate between Ctrl-D and + <Return> (Bug 1032604 - kukuk) +* Make.Rules.in: Add targets for installing man pages for modules + (from Linux distributors - kukuk) +* Add pam_xauth module (Bug 436440 - kukuk) +* Add pam_localuser module (Bug 436444 - kukuk) +* Add pam_succeed_if module (from Linux distributors - kukuk) +* configure.in: Fix check for libcrypt (Bug 417704 - kukuk) +* Add the "broken_shadow" argument to pam_unix, for ignoring errors + reading shadow information (from Linux distributors - kukuk) +* Add patches to make PAM modules reentrant (Bug 440107 - kukuk) +* Merge patches from Red Hat (Bug 477000 and other - kukuk) +* Fix pam_rhosts option parsing (Bug 922648 - kukuk) +* Add $ISA support in config files (from Red Hat - kukuk) + +0.77: Mon Sep 23 10:25:42 PDT 2002 + +* documentation support for pdf files was not quite right - + installation was messed up. +* pam_wheel was too aggressive to grant access (in the case of the + 'deny' option you want to pay attention to 'trust'). Fix from + Nalin (Bugs 476951, 476953 - agmorgan) +* account management support for: pam_shells, pam_listfile, pam_wheel + and pam_securetty (+ static module fix for pam_nologin). Patch from + redhat through Harald Welte (Bug 436435 - agmorgan). +* pam_wheel feature from Nalin - can use the module to provide wheel + access to non-root accounts. Also from Nalin, a bugfix related to + the primary group of the applicant is the 'wheel' group. (Bugs + 476980, 476941 - agmorgan) +* pam_unix and pam_pwdb: by default turn off the SIGCHLD handler while + running the helper binary (patch from Nalin) added the "noreap" + module argument to both of these modules to turn off this new + default. Bugfix found by Silvan Minghetti for former module and + 521314 checkin. (Bugs 476963, 521314 - agmorgan). +* updated CHANGELOG and configure.in for 0.77 work. + +0.76: Mon Jul 8 21:44:59 PDT 2002 + +* pam_unix: fix for legacy crypt() support when the password entered + was long. (Bug 521314 - agmorgan). +* pam_access no longer include gethostname() prototype complaint from + David Lee (Bug 415423 - agmorgan). +* make pam_nologin more secure by default, added two new module + arguments etc. - acting on suggestion from Nico (Bug 419307 - + agmorgan) +* link in libpam to libpam_misc - since the latter uses functions in + the former it makes some sort of sense to do this (although, in the + static library case, I remain to be convinced). (Bug 565470 - + agmorgan). +* absorbed some of the proposed darwin (OS X) changes from Luke Howard + (of PADL software) - hopefully will get the rest (see Rob Braun's + 534205) by 0.77 (Bug 491466 - agmorgan). +* README fix for pam_unix from Nalin (Bug 476971 - agmorgan). +* add support for building pdf files from the documentation - request + from 'lolive' (Bug 471377 - agmorgan). +* documented the equivalent '[..]' expressions for "required" + etc. Request from Ross Patterson (Bug 529078 - agmorgan). +* '[...]' parsing: document it and also fix it to support '\]' escape + sequence. Feature request from Russell Kliese (Bug 517064 - + agmorgan). +* pam_rootok: compilation warning noted by Tony den Haan wrt no + prototype for strcmp() (Bug 557322 - agmorgan). +* documentation: (a few of mine in passing) and app documentation + suggestions regarding PAM environment variables and module + documentation changes regarding the conversation function from Jenn + Vesperman (Bug 527821, 527965 - agmorgan) +* documentation: pam_time.sgml typo fixed, pam_motd exists now, + correct Red Hat comment about config files (Bugs 554274, 554261, + 554182 - agmorgan) +* pam_limits: added '%' domain for maxlogins limiting, now '*' and @group + have the old meaning (every) and '%' the new one (all) + (Bug 533664 - baggins) +* pam_limits: put not so interesting log messages under debug arg + (Bug 533668 - baggins) +* pam_access: added the 'fieldsep=' argument (Bug 547051 - agmorgan), + made a PAM_RHOST of "" equivalent to NULL (Bug 547521 - agmorgan). +* pam_limits: keep well know behaviour of maxlogins default ('*') limit + (Bug 533664 - baggins) +* pam_unix: more from Nalin log password changes (Bug 517743 - agmorgan) +* pam_limits: make it use the priority value specified in config + (bug 530428 - baggins) +* pam_unix: removed broken code in password update code. Report from + Len Lattanzi (Bug 507379 - agmorgan) +* pam_mkhomedir: recurse directories. Patch from Nalin (Bug 476981 - + agmorgan) +* pam_limits can handle negative priority limits now (which can apply + to the superuser too) - based on patch from Nalin. Also cleanup the + error handling that was very sloppy before. Also, courtesy of Berend + De Schouwe get the math right on login counting (Bug 476990, 476987, + 493294 - agmorgan) +* documentation: random typo fixes from Nalin and more stuff from me + (Bug 476949, Tasks 43507, 17426 - agmorgan) +* A Tru64 fix (given other stuff has already resolved this, it + actually just a comment actually) from 'Eddie'. (Bug 418450 - + agmorgan) +* pam_handlers: BSD fix from Dag-Erling Smørgrav and Anton Berezin + (Bug 486063 - agmorgan) +* added the dynamic/* directory to the distribution. If you go in + there after building the rest of the tree, you'll make a pam.so + object that can be used by something like a java runtime with + dlopen. Its not very well tested - caveat emptor. (Bug 232194 - + agmorgan) +* somehow pam_unix has started forcing the user prompt to be "login: ". + This is entirely inapropriate as it overrides PAM_USER_PROMPT. (Bug + 486361 - agmorgan). +* added a static module helper library object includes a few changes + to examples/xsh.c for testing purposes (added a simple shell wrapper + for running xsh with the sandbox libraries), and also modified the + pam_rhosts_auth module to use this new library. (Bug 490938, 409852 + - agmorgan). +* pam_unix: fix 'likeauth' to kill off the memory leak once and for all. + (Bug 483959 - vorlon) +* pam_unix: restore handling of 'likeauth' argument to a known working + state; prettify AUTH_RETURN macro; remove redundant argv checks in + pam_sm_setcred() (Bugs 483959, 113596 - vorlon) +* pam_cracklib: another try at implementing similar() from Harald + Welte and Nalin (Bugs 436053, 476957 - agmorgan) +* pam_access: default access.conf file contained a type (console + instead of LOCAL) fix from Nalin (Bug 476934 - agmorgan) +* pam_unix: fixed bizarre memory leak pointed out by Fernando Trias + (Bug 483959 - agmorgan) +* misc string comparison length checking changes from Nalin. Modules + touched, pam_cracklib, pam_listfile, pam_unix, pam_wheel (Bug 476947 - + agmorgan) +* pam_userdb: require that all of typed password matches that in + database report and fix from Vladimir Pastukhov. (Bug 484252 - agmorgan) +* pam_malloc: revived malloc debugging code, now tied to + --enable-memory-debug and added strdup() support (Bug 485454 - agmorgan) +* pam_tally: Nalin's fix for lastlog corruption (Bug 476985 - agmorgan) +* pam_rhosts: Nalin adds support for '+hostname', and zdd fix + compilation warning. (Bug 476986 - agmorgan) +* pam_motd: Nalin fixed compiler warning. (Bug 476938 - agmorgan) +* pam_pwdb: Solar Designer pointed out that there was a problem with + the compatibility support for md5 password hashing. (Bug 460717, + 476961 - agmorgan) +* pam_issue: Nalin found segfaulting problems if the PAM_USER_PROMPT + is unset, found some similar problems with assumptions about + realloc. (Bug 476983 - agmorgan) +* pam_env: 'weichangyang of hotmail' pointed out a wild string with no + valid '\0' was leading to problems with sshd and suggested fix (Bug + 473034 - agmorgan) +* MANDIR cleanup. It defaults to /usr/share/man, but can be overridden + using the --enable-mandir ./configure option, similarly for DOCDIR + from Nalin (Bug 476940 - agmorgan) +* pam_filter cleanup (including moving the filter directory) Nalin + and Harald Welte (Bugs 436057, 476970 - agmorgan) +* db3 is now recognized as a libdb candidate (Bug 435764 - agmorgan) +* more changes (extracted from redhat version) courtesy of + Harald Welte (Bugs pam_limits=436061, pam_lastlog=436060, + pam_mkhomedir/pam_env=435991 - agmorgan) +* fix for legacy behavior of pam_setcred and pam_close_session in + the case that pam_authenticate and pam_open_session hadn't been + called - bug report from Seongwan Park. (Bug 468724 - agmorgan) +* some BSD updates and fixes from Mark Murray - including a slightly + more robust conversation function and some minimization of gcc + warnings. (Bugs 449203,463984 - agmorgan) +* verified that the setcred stack didn't suffer from the bug I was + nervous about, add a new module pam_debug to help me test this. + fixed a libpam/pam_dispatch.c instrumentation line that I tripped + over when testing. Also restructured pam_warn to help here (Bug + 424315 - agmorgan). +* pam_unix/support.c: sample use of reentrant NSS function. Not yet active, + because modules do not include _pam_aconf_h! (Bug 440107 - vorlon) +* doc/Makefile changes - use $(mandir) [courtesy Harald Welte] (Bug + 435760) and add some rules to make/delete the draft rfc I've been + working on (Task 17426 - agmorgan) +* pam_modules.sgml: sourceforge has changed its CVS viewing software + (Bug 460491 - agmorgan) +* pam_unix_passwd: got rid of an annoying warning (Bug 461089 - agmorgan) +* configure.in, _pam_aconf.h.in: set the stage for fully reentrant PAM + modules, with some infrastructure to detect getxxbyxx_r() functions + (Bug 440107 - vorlon) +* pam_unix: removed superfluous use of static variables in md5 and bigcrypt + routines, bringing us a step closer to thread-safeness. Eliminated + some variable indirection along the way. (Bug 440107 - vorlon) +* pam_tally: remove #include of stdlib.h, which isn't needed by anything + found in this module. Can be readded if we find a real need for it at + a later date. (Bug 436432 - vorlon) +* pam_tally: added an #include (was it really needed?) and made the + pam_tally app install (with more pretty printing and a corrected + Makefile dependency) motivated by a (red hat diff) courtesy of Harald + Welte (Bug 436432 - agmorgan) +* configure.in changes to help support non-Linux environments courtesy + of Scott T.

PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD should have been PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD. + + changed: pam_pwdb(pam_unix_acct) (also bug fix for + _shadow_acct_mgmt_exp() return value), pam_stress, + libpam/pam_dispatch, blank, xsh. + +* New: PAM_AUTHTOK_EXPIRED - password has expired. + +* Ooops! PAM_CRED_ESTABLISH (etc.) should have been PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED + etc... (changed - this may break some people's modules - PLEASE TAKE + NOTE!) + changed: pam_group, pam_mail, blank, xsh; module and appl + docs, pam_setcred manual page. + +* renamed internal _pam_handle structure to be pam_handle as per XSSO. + +* added PAM_RADIO_TYPE (for multiple choice input method). Also + added PAM_BINARY_{MSG,PROMPT} (for interaction out of sight of user + - this could be used for RSA type authentication but is currently + just there for experimental purposes). The _BINARY_ types are now + usable with hooks in the libpam_misc conversation function. Still + have to add PAM_RADIO_TYPE. + +* added pam_access module (Alexei Nogin) + +* added documentation for pam_lastlog. Also modified the module to + not (by default) print "welcome to your new account" when it cannot + find a utmp entry for the user (you can turn this on with the + "never" argument). + +* small correction to the pam_fail_delay manual page. Either the appl or + the modules header file will prototype this function. + +* added "bigcrypt" (DEC's C2) algorithm(0) to pam_pwdb. (Andy Phillips) + +* *BSD tweaking for various #include's etc. (pam_lastlog, pam_rhosts, + pam_wheel, libpam/pam_handlers). (Michael Smith) + +* added configuration directory $SCONFIGED for module specific + configuration files. + +* added two new "linked" man pages (pam.conf(8) and pam.d(8)) + +* included a reasonable default for /etc/pam.conf (which can be + translated to /etc/pam.d/* files with the pam_conv1 binary) + +* fixed the names of the new configuration files in + conf/pam_conv1/pam_conv.y + +* fixed make check. + +* pam_lastlog fixed to handle UID in virgin part of /var/log/lastlog + (bug report from Ronald Wahl). + +* grammar fix in pam_cracklib + +* segfault avoided in pam_pwdb (getting user). Updating of passwords + that are directed to a "new" database are more robust now (bug noted + by Michael K. Johnson). Added "unix" module argument for migrating + passwords from another database to /etc/passwd. (documentation + updated). Removed "bad username []" warning for empty passwords - + on again if you supply the 'debug' module argument. + +* ctrl-D respected in conversation function (libpam_misc) + +* Removed -DPAM_FAIL_DELAY_ON from top-level Makefile. Nothing in + the distribution uses it. I guess this change happened a while + back, basically I'm trying to make the module parts of the + distribution "source compatible" with the RFC definition of PAM. + This implementation of PAM is a superset of that definition. I have + added the following symbols to the Linux-PAM header files: + + PAM_DATA_SILENT (see _pam_types.h) + HAVE_PAM_FAIL_DELAY (see _pam_types.h) + PAM_DATA_REPLACE (see _pam_modules.h) + + Any module (or application) that wants to utilize these features, + should check (#ifdef) for these tokens before using the associated + functionality.

Modules converted: + pam_deny + pam_permit + pam_lastlog + pam_pwdb + +* pam_env.c: #include <errno.h> added to ease GNU libc use. (Michael + K. Johnson) + +* pam_unix_passwd fixes to shadow aging code (Eliot Frank) + +* added README for pam_tally + +0.57: Fri Apr 4 23:00:45 PST 1997 Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net> + +* added "nodelay" argument to pam_pwdb. This can be used to turn off + the call to pam_fail_delay that takes effect when the user fails to + authenticate themself. + +* added "suppress" argument to pam_rhosts_auth module. This will stop + printing the "rlogin failure message" when the user does not have a + .rhosts file. + +* Extra fixes for FAKEROOT in Makefiles (Savochkin Andrey + Vladimirovich) + +* pam_tally added to tree courtesy of Tim Baverstock + +* pam_rhosts_auth was failing to read NFS mounted .rhosts + files.

[Credit also to G.Wilford for some + changes that were not actually included..] + +* optional (#ifdef PAM_READ_BOTH_CONFS) support for parsing of pam.d/ + AND pam.conf files (Elliot Lee). + +* Added (and signed) Cristian's PGP key. (I've never met him, but I am + convinced the key belongs to the guy that is making the PAM rpms and + also producing libpwdb. Please note, I will not be signing anyone + else's key without a personal introduction..) + +* fixed erroneous syslog warning in pam_listfile (Savochkin Andrey + Vladimirovich, whole file reformatted by Cristian) + +* modified pam_securetty to return PAM_IGNORE in the case that the user's + name is not known to the system (was previously, PAM_USER_UNKNOWN). The + Rationale is that pam_securetty's sole purpose is to prevent superuser + login anywhere other than at the console. It is not its concern that the + user is unknown - only that they are _not_ root. Returning + PAM_IGNORE, however, insures that the pam_securetty can never be used to + "authenticate" a non-existent user. (Cristian Gafton with bug report from + Roger Hu) + +* Modified pam_nologin to display the no-login message when the user + is not known. The return value in this case is still PAM_USER_UNKNOWN. + (Bug report from Cristian Gafton) + +* Added NEED_LCKPWD for pam_unix/ This is used to define the locking + functions and should only be turned on if you don't have them in + your libc. + +* tidied up pam_lastlog and pam_pwdb: removed function that was never used. + +* Note for package maintainers: I have added $(FAKEROOT) to the list of + environment variables. This should help greatly when you build PAM + in a subdirectory. I've gone through the tree and tried to make + everything compatible with it. + +* added pam_env (courtesy of Dave Kinchlea) + +* removed pam_passwd+ from the tree. It has not been maintained in a + long time and running a shell script was basically insecure. I've + indicated where you can pick up the source if you want it. + +* #define HAVE_PAM_FAIL_DELAY . Applications can conditionally compile + with this if they want to see if the facility is available. It is + now always available. (corresponding compilation cleanups..) + +* _pam_sanitize() added to pam_misc. It purges the PAM_AUTHTOK and + PAM_OLDAUTHTOK items. (calls replaced in pam_auth and pam_password) + +* pam_rhosts now knows about the '+' entry. Since I think this is a + dangerous thing, I have required that the sysadmin supply the + "promiscuous" flag for it in the corresponding configuration file + before it will work. + +* FULL_LINUX_PAM_SOURCE_TREE exported from the top level make file. + If you want to build a module, you can test for this to determine if + it should take its directions from above or supply default locations + for installation. Etc. + +0.56: Sat Feb 15 12:21:01 PST 1997 <morgan@parc.power.net> + +* pam_handlers.c can now interpret the pam.d/ service config tree: + - if /etc/pam.d/ exists /etc/pam.conf is IGNORED + (otherwise /etc/pam.conf is treated as before) + - given /etc/pam.d/ + . config files are named (in lower case) by service-name + . config files have same syntax as /etc/pam.conf except + that the "service-name" field is not present. (there + are thus three manditory fields (and arguments are + optional): + + module-type control-flag module-path optional-args... + + ) + +* included conf/pam_conv1 for converting pam.conf to a pam.d/ version + 1.0 directory tree. This program reads a pam.conf file on the + standard input stream and creates ./pam.d/ (in the local directory) + and fills it with ./pam.d/"service-name" files. + + *> Note: It will fail if ./pam.d/ already exists. + + PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS WITH THIS CONVERSION PROGRAM... It currently + cannot retain comments from the old conf file, so take care to do this + by hand. Also, please email me with the fix that makes the + shift/reduce conflict go away... + +* Added default module path to libpam for modules (see pam_handlers.c) + it makes use of Makfile defined symbol: DEFAULT_MODULE_PATH which is + inhereted from the defs/* variable $(SECUREDIR).

Not foreseen by the + RFC). The "motivation" for the RFC's comments about ignoring garbled + lines is present in spirit in the new code: basically a garbled line + is treated like an instance of the pam_deny.so module. + changes to pam_handlers.c and pam_dispatch.c . + +* patched libpam, to (a) call _pam_init_handlers from pam_start() and + (b) to log a text error if there are no modules defined for a given + service when a call to a module is requested.

In order to support + this you have to enable MEMORY_DEBUG in the top level makefile and + also #define MEMORY_DEBUG in your applications when they are compiled. + The extra code resides in libpam (compiled if MEMORY_DEBUG is defined) + and the macros for malloc etc. are to be found at the end of + _pam_types.h + +* used above code to locate two memory leaks in pam_unix module and two + in libpam (pam_handlers.h) + +* pam_get_user() now sets the PAM_USER item. After reading the Sun + manual page again, it was clear that it should do this. Various + modules have been assuming this and now I have modified most of them + to account for this change. Additionally, pam_get_user() is now + located in the module include file; modules are supposed to be the + ones that use it(!) [Note, this is explicitly contrary to the Sun + manual page, but in the spirit of the Linux distribution to date.] + +* replaced -D"LINUX" with -D"LINUX_PAM" as this is more explicit and less + likely to be confused with -D"linux". + Also, modified the libpam #include files to behave more like the Sun + ones #ifndef LINUX_PAM. + +* removed <bf/ .. / from documentation titles.

[ foo -nt bar ] is + rather redundant in a makefile, for instance. Also, passing + on the command line is broken because it cannot be + overridden in any way (even adding important parts) in lower-level + makefiles. +* Unfortunately, fixing some of the brokenness meant that I used + GNU-specific stuff. However, I *think* that there was GNU-specific + stuff already. And I think that we should just use the GNU + extensions, because any platform that GNU make doesn't port to + easily will be hard to port to anyway.
