    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-5321-1 security@debian.org https://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso January 18, 2023 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : sudo
    CVE ID : CVE-2023-22809

    Matthieu Barjole and Victor Cutillas discovered that sudoedit in sudo, a program designed to provide limited super user privileges to specific
    users, does not properly handle '--' to separate the editor and
    arguments from files to edit. A local user permitted to edit certain
    files can take advantage of this flaw to edit a file not permitted by
    the security policy, resulting in privilege escalation.

    Details can be found in the upstream advisory at https://www.sudo.ws/security/advisories/sudoedit_any/ .

    For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.9.5p2-3+deb11u1.

    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
