GCVE-110-MAGEIA-2023-25
Advisory Published
In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra
arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR,
VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries
to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation.
Affected versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because
a user-specified editor may contain a "--" argument that defeats a
protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim -- /path/to/extra/file'
value. (CVE-2023-22809)
