Slackware: 2019-287-01 Moderate: Sudo Access Control Issue

slackware
Calendar Grey October 14, 2019
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Recent sudo updates launched for Slackware to fix a significant security vulnerability that impacts privilege elevation.
New sudo packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/sudo-1.8.28-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. Fixed a bug where an sudo user may be able to run a command as root when the Runas specification explicitly disallows root access as long as the ALL keyword is listed first. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-14287 (* Security fix *)
