Hi Don-san. I am able to reproduce with the following procedure.
----------------- vagrant init ubuntu/xenial64 vagrant ssh # at xenial64 on VM echo 'session required pam_tty_audit.so enable=*' | sudo tee -a /etc/pam.d/common-session ----------------- When 'vagrant ssh' from other terminal, it is fail. I tested below environment. ----------------- vagrant@ubuntu-xenial:~$ uname -a Linux ubuntu-xenial 4.4.0-142-generic #168-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 16 21:00:45 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux vagrant@ubuntu-xenial:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

This problem is caused by an uninitialized stack variable, so it is important to manipulate the state of the stack to reproduce it. For example, it is good to activate pam_ldap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pam in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666203 Title: pam_tty_audit failed in pam_open_session Status in pam package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in pam package in Debian: New Bug description: Dear Maintainer. I found a bug in pam_tty_audit. When Using the pam_tty_audit with other pam modules(ex, pam_ldap), it failed in pam_open_session. It was triggared by use uninitialized variable in pam_tty_audit.c::pam_open_session. * Enviroments Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS linux-image-3.16.0-71-generic 3.16.0-71.92~14.04.1 libpam-ldap:amd64 184-8.5ubuntu3 libpam-modules:amd64 1.1.8-1ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu 16.04.2 TLS linux-image-4.4.0-62-generic 4.4.0-62.83 libpam-ldap:amd64 184-8.7ubuntu1 libpam-modules:amd64 1.1.8-3.2ubuntu2 * Reproduction method 1. Install libpam-ldap. 2. Add the following to the end of /etc/pam.d/common-sessions -------- session required pam_tty_audit.so enable=* open_only -------- 3.
