CVE-2012-2337

Publication date 16 May 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

sudo 1.6.x and 1.7.x before 1.7.9p1, and 1.8.x before 1.8.4p5, does not properly support configurations that use a netmask syntax, which allows local users to bypass intended command restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by executing a command on a host that has an IPv4 address.
