EulerOS Virtualization 2.11.0 : sudo (EulerOS-SA-2023-2130)

high Nessus Plugin ID 176773

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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.
 (CVE-2023-22809)

 - 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.

Solution

Update the affected sudo packages.
