CVE-2014-0106

Publication date 11 March 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Sudo 1.6.9 before 1.8.5, when env_reset is disabled, does not properly check environment variables for the env_delete restriction, which allows local users with sudo permissions to bypass intended command restrictions via a crafted environment variable.

jdstrand

Ubuntu uses env_reset by default

mdeslaur

low priority since this is only vulnerable in a non-default configuration, and not using env_reset is insecure anyway.
