Ubuntu 23: 2024-d5b89c0bb4 High: Shell Escape Vulnerability

fedora
Calendar Grey February 18, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest advisory for Fedora 38 regarding sudo has been released, tackling various security vulnerabilities and providing guidance on how to appropriately install the updates.
Rabase to 1.9.15p5

Summary

Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain

users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands

as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a

per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features

include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a

per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear

audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo

command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers)

on many different machines.

Update Information:

Rabase to 1.9.15p5
