+Subject: [PATCH] pam_userdb: fix password hash comparison
+
+Starting with commit Linux-PAM-0-77-28-g0b3e583 that introduced hashed
+passwords support in pam_userdb, hashes are compared case-insensitively.
+This bug leads to accepting hashes for completely different passwords in
+addition to those that should be accepted.
+
+Additionally, commit Linux-PAM-1_1_6-13-ge2a8187 that added support for
+modern password hashes with different lengths and settings, did not
+update the hash comparison accordingly, which leads to accepting
+computed hashes longer than stored hashes when the latter is a prefix
+of the former.
+
+* modules/pam_userdb/pam_userdb.c (user_lookup): Reject the computed
+hash whose length differs from the stored hash length.
+Compare computed and stored hashes case-sensitively.
+Fixes CVE-2013-7041.
