      "value": "pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, a crafted UUID such as $(id>/tmp/rce) in the config causes root RCE when pamusb-conf --reset-pads is run. A USB device with a crafted filesystem UUID (some controllers allow this) can inject the payload at --add-device time. Also, userName from the XML config is passed to os.system() in pamusb-agent, which invokes a shell. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.7."

      "value": "pam_usb proporciona autenticación de hardware para Linux utilizando medios extraíbles comunes. Antes de la versión 0.8.7, un UUID manipulado como $(id>/tmp/rce) en la configuración causa RCE de root cuando se ejecuta pamusb-conf --reset-pads. Un dispositivo USB con un UUID de sistema de archivos manipulado (algunos controladores lo permiten) puede inyectar la carga útil en el momento de --add-device. Además, el userName de la configuración XML se pasa a os.system() en pamusb-agent, lo que invoca una shell. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 0.8.7."
