Red Hat: sudo-0:1.9.15-8.p5.el10_0.2, sudo-0:1.8.23-10.el7_9.4, sudo-0:1.9.5p2-1.el8_10.1, sudo-0:1.8.29-5.el8_2.3, sudo-0:1.8.29-7.el8_4.3, sudo-0:1.9.5p2-1.el8_6.1

High [CVE-2025-32462] Sudo before 1.9.17p1, when used with a sudoers file that specifies a host that is neither the current host nor ALL
CVE-2025-32462Source published Jun 30, 2025Source updated Jun 30, 2025
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. A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in Sudo. In certain configurations, unauthorized users can gain elevated system privileges via the Sudo host option (`-h` or `--host`). When using the default sudo security policy plugin (sudoers), the host option is intended to be used in conjunction with the list option (`-l` or `--list`) to determine what permissions a user has on a different system. However, this restriction can be bypassed, allowing a user to elevate their privileges on one system to the privileges they may have on a different system, effectively ignoring the host identifier in any sudoers…
