CVE-2026-48984 (GCVE-0-2026-48984)

Title
pam_usb: xfree() does not call explicit_bzero — sensitive cryptographic material may linger in freed heap
Summary
pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions 0.9.1 and below, the xfree() memory release helper in calls free() without first zeroing the buffer contents, releasing heap-allocated buffers containing sensitive data — including one-time pad bytes read from disk — without clearing, leaving the sensitive content in freed heap memory until it happens to be overwritten by a subsequent allocation. On a system where a use-after-free condition exists, or where a heap inspection primitive becomes available, this could allow recovery of pad values or other authentication material from freed memory regions. This is a defence-in-depth requirement consistent with prior hardening work in this codebase (GHSA-vx6f-rrqr-j87c applied explicit_bzero to some pad paths; this issue generalises the pattern to the central deallocation helper).

Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Store the sensitive data in a "volatile" memory location if available.
Mitigation
Phase: Build and Compilation
Description:
- If possible, configure your compiler so that it does not remove dead stores.
Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- Where possible, encrypt sensitive data that are used by a software system.
