NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : sudo Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2025-0246)

high Nessus Plugin ID 271283

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has sudo packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Sudo before 1.9.17p1 allows local users to obtain root access because /etc/nsswitch.conf from a user- controlled directory is used with the --chroot option. (CVE-2025-32463)

 - Sudo before 1.9.17p1, when used with a sudoers file that specifies a host that is neither the current host nor ALL, allows listed users to execute commands on unintended machines. (CVE-2025-32462)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL sudo packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
