USN-3304-1: Sudo vulnerability
Severity
High
Vendor
Canonical Ubuntu
Versions Affected
- Canonical Ubuntu 14.04
Description
It was discovered that Sudo did not properly parse the contents of /proc/[pid]/stat when attempting to determine its controlling tty. A local attacker in some configurations could possibly use this to overwrite any file on the filesystem, bypassing intended permissions.
