    Package        : sudo
    Version        : 1.9.5p2-3+deb11u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-32462


    Rich Mirch discovered that sudo, a program designed to provide limited
    super user privileges to specific users, does not correctly handle the
    host (-h or --host) option. Due to a bug the host option was not
    restricted to listing privileges only and could be used when running a
    command via sudo or editing a file with sudoedit. Depending on the rules
    present in the sudoers file the flaw might allow a local privilege
    escalation attack.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.9.5p2-3+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.

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