Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

EMC RSA Authentication Agent for PAM 7.0 before 7.0.2.1 enforces the maximum number of login attempts within the PAM-enabled application codebase, instead of within the Agent codebase, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover correct login credentials via a brute-force attack.
