    Package        : sudo
    Version        : 1.8.27-1+deb10u5
    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.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.8.27-1+deb10u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.

    For the detailed security status of sudo please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
