    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-4839-1 security@debian.org https://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso January 26, 2021 https://www.debian.org/security/faq

    Package : sudo
    CVE ID : CVE-2021-3156

    The Qualys Research Labs discovered a heap-based buffer overflow
    vulnerability in sudo, a program designed to provide limited super user privileges to specific users. Any local user (sudoers and non-sudoers)
    can exploit this flaw for root privilege escalation.

    For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.8.27-1+deb10u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.

    For the detailed security status of sudo please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/sudo
