From: Yue Tao <Yue.Tao at windriver.com>

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in pam_timestamp.c in the
pam_timestamp module for Linux-PAM (aka pam) 1.1.8 allow local users to
create aribitrary files or possibly bypass authentication via a .. (dot
dot) in the (1) PAM_RUSER value to the get_ruser function or (2) PAM_TTY
value to the check_tty funtion, which is used by the
format_timestamp_name function.

+Subject: [PATCH] pam_timestamp: fix potential directory traversal issue
+ (ticket #27)
+
+commit 9dcead87e6d7f66d34e7a56d11a30daca367dffb upstream
+
+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.
