CVE-2014-9680
LOW3.3EPSS 0.41%sudo - security update
Published: 4/24/2017Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
sudo before 1.8.12 does not ensure that the TZ environment variable is associated with a zoneinfo file, which allows local users to open arbitrary files for read access (but not view file contents) by running a program within an sudo session, as demonstrated by interfering with terminal output, discarding kernel-log messages, or repositioning tape drives.
Affected packages (2)
- Debian/sudofrom 0, < 1.8.12-1
- Debian/sudofrom 0, < 1.8.5p2-1+nmu2
