Description:
Red Hat has acknowledged a security issue in the lspp-eal4-config-ibm and capp-lspp-eal4-config-hp packages, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The security issue is caused due to an error within the "capp-lspp-config" script, resulting in the "/etc/pam.d/system-auth" file being world-writeable. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges.
NOTE: This only affects systems deployed using the vulnerable packages as system kickstart script.
