    (CVE-2022-40897)

According to the versions of the sudo package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Sudo before 1.9.13p2 has a double free in the per-command chroot feature. (CVE-2023-27320)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the sudo package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Sudo 1.8.0 through 1.9.12, with the crypt() password backend, contains a plugins/sudoers/auth/passwd.c     array-out-of-bounds error that can result in a heap-based buffer over-read. This can be triggered by     arbitrary local users with access to Sudo by entering a password of seven characters or fewer. The impact     could vary depending on the system libraries, compiler, and processor architecture. (CVE-2022-43995)

  - 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.
