An unprivileged user can take advantage of this flaw to obtain full root privileges. Details can be found in the upstream advisory at https://www.sudo.ws/alerts/pwfeedback.html . For the oldstable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.19p1-2.1+deb9u2. For the stable distribution (buster), exploitation of the bug is prevented due to a change in EOF handling introduced in 1.8.26. We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.
