Slackware 15.0 Critical Advisory: Sudo Authentication Issue Fix
slackware
November 5, 2022
New sudo packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 15.0, and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/sudo-1.9.12p1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. Fixed a potential out-of-bounds write for passwords smaller than 8 characters when passwd authentication is enabled. This does not affect configurations that use other authentication methods such as PAM, AIX authentication or BSD authentication. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-43995 (* Security fix *)
