Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2020-031-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the SSA:2020-031-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the SSA:2020-031-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New sudo packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/sudo-1.8.31-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: In Sudo before 1.8.31, if pwfeedback is enabled in /etc/sudoers, users can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in the privileged sudo process. (pwfeedback is a default setting in some Linux distributions, however, it is not the default for upstream or in Slackware, and would exist only if enabled by an administrator.) The attacker needs to deliver a long string to the stdin of getln() in tgetpass.c. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'sudo' package(s) on Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware 14.2, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
