Details

The problem is in the conv() function in app.cpp, which treats its "resp" argument as a pointer to a pointer to an array of pam_response structures, while it's actually a pointer to an array of pointers to pam_response structures. That is, it does things like "resp[i]->resp=0;" instead of "(*resp)[i].resp=0;". This fails when the calling PAM module expects more than one response at a time. Thus the PAM module doesn't receive a password and authentication fails.
