Hi there.  I have a question about the security explots in pam that
Connectiva and RedHat announced.  Does anyone know what version the
exploit first appeared in?  Specifically, I'm wondering if versions
0.66 and 0.68 are afflicted with this exploit.

They are and they are not: pam_console is a redhat addition to the
PAM sourcecode. So the official PAM release are not affected at all,
but the redhat packaged version of PAM with the pam_console addition
is.
