Descriptions

sudoedit in Sudo before 1.8.15 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on a file whose full path is defined using multiple wildcards in /etc/sudoers, as demonstrated by "/home/*/*/file.txt."

sudoedit en Sudo en versiones anteriores a 1.8.15 permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de un ataque de enlaces simbólicos en un archivo cuya totalidad de la ruta se define utilizando múltiples comodines en /etc/sudoers, según lo demostrado mediante '/home/*/*/file.txt.'
