GCVE-110-MAGEIA-2020-81
Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published February 9, 2020
The updated packages fix a security vulnerability: In Sudo before 1.8.31, if pwfeedback is enabled in /etc/sudoers, users can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in the privileged sudo process. (pwfeedback is a default setting in Linux Mint and elementary OS; however, it is NOT the default for upstream and many other packages, and would exist only if enabled by an administrator.) The attacker needs to deliver a long string to the stdin of getln() in tgetpass.c. (CVE-2019-18634)
