Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2023-0025)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2023-0025 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2023-0025 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation. Affected versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a '--' argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim -- /path/to/extra/file' value. (CVE-2023-22809) Affected Software/OS: 'sudo' package(s) on Mageia 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
