Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in sudo which could result in |
19 |
privilege escalation. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run |
25 |
commands as other users. Access to commands may also be granted on a |
26 |
range to hosts. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in sudo: |
40 |
|
41 |
* sudo does not correctly validate the controlling terminal on a system |
42 |
without /proc or when the tty_tickets option is enabled. |
43 |
* sudo does not properly handle the clock when it is set to the epoch. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
A local attacker with sudo privileges could connect to the stdin, |
49 |
stdout, and stderr of the terminal of a user who has authenticated with |
50 |
sudo, allowing the attacker to hijack the authorization of the other |
51 |
user. Additionally, a local or physically proximate attacker could set |
52 |
the system clock to the epoch, bypassing time restrictions on sudo |
53 |
authentication. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/sudo-1.8.6_p7" |
