Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent Virtual Appliance version thousandeyes-va-64-18.04 0.218 suffers from an unpatched vulnerability in sudoedit, allowed by sudo configuration, which permits a low-privilege user to modify arbitrary files as root and subsequently execute arbitrary commands as root.

Related CVEs: * CVE-2023-22809: A vulnerability was found in sudo. Exposure in how sudoedit handles user-provided environment variables leads to arbitrary file writing with privileges of the RunAs user (usually root). The prerequisite for exploitation is that the current user must be authorized by the sudoers policy to edit a file using sudoedit.

Dell VxRail versions earlier than 7.0.450, contain(s) an OS command injection vulnerability in VxRail Manager. A local authenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of arbitrary OS commands on the application's underlying OS, with the privileges of the vulnerable application. Exploitation may lead to a system take over by an attacker.

In LTOS versions prior to V7.06.013, the configuration file upload function would not correctly validate the input, which would allow an remote authenticated attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary commands.

Sudo before 1.9.13p2 has a double free in the per-command chroot feature.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5811-3 - USN-5811-1 fixed a vulnerability in Sudo. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. Matthieu Barjole and Victor Cutillas discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled user-specified editors when using the sudoedit command. A local attacker that has permission to use the sudoedit command could possibly use this issue to edit arbitrary files.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5321-1 - Matthieu Barjole and Victor Cutillas discovered that sudoedit in sudo, a program designed to provide limited super user privileges to specific users, does not properly handle '--' to separate the editor and arguments from files to edit. A local user permitted to edit certain files can take advantage of this flaw to edit a file not permitted by the security policy, resulting in privilege escalation.

In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation. Affected versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a "--" argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim -- /path/to/extra/file' value.
