CVE-2021-23239

The sudoedit personality of Sudo before 1.9.5 may allow a local unprivileged user to perform arbitrary directory-existence tests by winning a sudo_edit.c race condition in replacing a user-controlled directory by a symlink to an arbitrary path.

For Debian 10 Buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.27-1+deb10u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.
