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 Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.19p1-2.1+deb9u3.

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

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
