Arch Linux: ASA-202102-8 High: Opendoas Privilege Escalation Threat

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202102-8
========================================
Severity: High
Date    : 2021-02-06
CVE-ID  : CVE-2019-25016
Package : opendoas
Type    : privilege escalation
Remote  : No
Link    : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1504

Summary
======
The package opendoas before version 6.8.1-2 is vulnerable to privilege
escalation.

Resolution
=========
Upgrade to 6.8.1-2.

# pacman -Syu "opendoas>=6.8.1-2"

The problem has been fixed upstream in version 6.8.1.

Workaround
=========
None.

Description
==========
A security issue has been found in OpenDoas before 6.8.1, where rules
that allowed the user to execute any command would inherit the
executing user's PATH instead of resetting it to a default PATH. Rules
that limit the user to execute only a specific command are not affected
by this and are only executed from the default PATH and with the PATH
environment variable set to the safe default.

Impact
=====
A local user might be able to escalate privileges.
