1. Topic:
Under some network configurations PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)
will fail to lock access to disabled NIS accounts.
2. Problem description:
The PAM packages shipped with Red Hat Linux 6.1/Intel may allow access to
locked NIS accounts on certain network configurations. If you have a Red Hat
Linux 6.1 workstation performing authentication against a NIS server then
you are at risk. Red Hat recommends that you upgrade the PAM packages on
all Red Hat Linux 6.1 workstations to the versions announced in this
advisory.
Previous versions of Red Hat Linux are not affected by this problem.
