In Sudo before 1.8.26, if pwfeedback is enabled in /etc/sudoers, users can
trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in the privileged sudo process.
(pwfeedback is a default setting in Linux Mint and elementary OS; however,
it is NOT the default for upstream and many other packages, and would exist
only if enabled by an administrator.) The attacker needs to deliver a long
string to the stdin of getln() in tgetpass.c.

Notes

Author Note
mdeslaur pwfeedback is not enabled in Ubuntu affects 1.7.1 to 1.8.25p1 as it can’t be exploited in 1.8.26 to 1.8.30
