The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has sudo packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - It was found that the original fix for CVE-2017-1000367     was incomplete. A flaw was found in the way sudo parsed     tty information from the process status file in the proc     filesystem. A local user with privileges to execute     commands via sudo could use this flaw to escalate their     privileges to root. (CVE-2017-1000368)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

USN-3968-1 fixed a vulnerability in Sudo. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.

Original advisory details :

It was discovered that Sudo did not properly parse the contents of /proc/[pid]/stat when attempting to determine its controlling tty. A local attacker in some configurations could possibly use this to overwrite any file on the filesystem, bypassing intended permissions.
(CVE-2017-1000368).

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

According to the versions of the sudo package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - It was found that the original fix for CVE-2017-1000367     was incomplete. A flaw was found in the way sudo parsed     tty information from the process status file in the     proc filesystem. A local user with privileges to     execute commands via sudo could use this flaw to     escalate their privileges to root.(CVE-2017-1000368)

  - A flaw was found in the way sudo parsed tty information     from the process status file in the proc filesystem. A     local user with privileges to execute commands via sudo     could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to     root.(CVE-2017-1000367)

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

Florian Weimer discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled the noexec restriction when used with certain applications. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass configured restrictions and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2016-7076)

It was discovered that Sudo did not properly parse the contents of /proc/[pid]/stat when attempting to determine its controlling tty. A local attacker in some configurations could possibly use this to overwrite any file on the filesystem, bypassing intended permissions.
(CVE-2017-1000368).

An update of the sudo package has been released.

An update of [zlib,bindutils,ruby,krb5,sudo] packages for PhotonOS has been released.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201710-04 (sudo: Privilege escalation)

    The fix present in app-admin/sudo-1.8.20_p1 (GLSA 201705-15) was       incomplete as it did not address the problem of a command with a newline       in the name.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is running a version of McAfee Web Gateway (MWG) that is affected by multiple security vulnerabilities :

  - A memory corruption flaw exists in unrar before 5.5.5, as used in     Sophos Anti-Virus Threat Detection Engine before 3.37.2 and other     products that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2012-6706)

  - A memory corruption flaw exists in Linux Kernel versions 4.11.5     and earlier that allows remote attacks to execute arbitrary code     with elevated privileges.(CVE-2017-1000364)

  - A memory corruption flaw exists in the handling of LD_LIBRARY_PATH     that allows a remote attacker to manipulate the heap/stack that     may lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue only affects GNU     glibc 2.25 and prior. (CVE-2017-1000366)

  - An input validation flaw exists in Todd Miller's sudo version     1.8.20p1 and earlier that results in information disclosure and     arbitrary command execution. (CVE-2017-1000368)

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

  - Fix (CVE-2017-1000368)

  - Fix (CVE-2017-1000367)

An update for sudo is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Extended Lifecycle Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The sudo packages contain the sudo utility which allows system administrators to provide certain users with the permission to execute privileged commands, which are used for system management purposes, without having to log in as root.

Security Fix(es) :

* It was found that the original fix for CVE-2017-1000367 was incomplete. A flaw was found in the way sudo parsed tty information from the process status file in the proc filesystem. A local user with privileges to execute commands via sudo could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2017-1000368)

This update for sudo fixes the following issues :

  - A regression in the fix for the CVE-2017-1000368 that     broke sudo with the 'requiretty' flag (bsc#1045986)

Todd Miller's sudo version 1.8.20p1 and earlier is vulnerable to an input validation (embedded newlines) in the get_process_ttyname() function resulting in information disclosure and command execution.

The previous announcement (DLA-970-1) was about a similar security issue (CVE-2017-1000367) which wasn't completely fixed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.

This update for sudo fixes the following security issue :

  - CVE-2017-1000368: A follow-up fix to CVE-2017-1000367,     the Linux process name could also contain a newline,     which could be used to trick sudo to read/write to an     arbitrary open terminal. (bsc#1042146)

Also the following non security bug was fixed :

  - Link the 'system_group' plugin with sudo_util library to     resolve the missing sudo_dso_findsym symbol     (bsc#1034560)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update update project.
