Joe Vennix discovered a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in sudo, a program designed to provide limited super user privileges to specific users, triggerable when configured with the โ€˜pwfeedbackโ€™ option enabled. An unprivileged user can take advantage of this flaw to obtain full root privileges.

Details can be found in the upstream advisory at https://www.sudo.ws/alerts/pwfeedback.html .
