Thomas Perale c5a8cfd581 package/linux-pam: patch CVE-2025-6020
- CVE-2025-6020:
    A flaw was found in linux-pam. The module pam_namespace may use access
    user-controlled paths without proper protection, allowing local users
    to elevate their privileges to root via multiple symlink attacks and
    race conditions.

For more information, see:
  - https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-6020

This fix was backported based on the work of the OpenEmbedded
community. See the link to the original patches in the patch header.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
