CVE-2013-3271: Emc Rsa Authentication Agent

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Emc Rsa Authentication Agent: version 7.0.0 only; version 7.0.1 only; version 7.0.2 only
