CVE-2008-3067

Publication date 7 July 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

sudo in SUSE openSUSE 10.3 does not clear the stdin buffer when password entry times out, which might allow local users to obtain a password by reading stdin from the parent process after a sudo child process exits.

kees

could not reproduce on Dapper or Gutsy, which predated the patch. I think this is a stand-alone vs PAM issue, and Debian/Ubuntu uses PAM.
