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 canโ€™t be exploited in 1.8.26 to 1.8.30
