EulerOS 2.0 SP9 : sudo (EulerOS-SA-2023-1137)

high Nessus Plugin ID 169598

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the sudo package installed, the EulerOS 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)

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.

Solution

Update the affected sudo packages.
