Comment 1 Nicolas Salguero 2024-01-30 09:48:47 CET
Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:

Sudo before 1.9.15 might allow row hammer attacks (for authentication bypass or privilege escalation) because application logic sometimes is based on not equaling an error value (instead of equaling a success value), and because the values do not resist flips of a single bit. (CVE-2023-42465)
