    The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-32463 (CVSS score: 9.3), which affects Sudo versions prior to 1.9.17p1

    Check your version: sudo --version

    As mentioned above, sudo version 1.9.17p1 patches this. This version was already released in June of this year, so many distributions should have it.

      Thanks for posting the version.

      Looks like Arch updated to this version on 1st July.

      My DMZ node had it installed a week later, so I’m all smug today

      Its funny because whenever I hear about something like this with foss it tends to be this way but when its proprietary I hear on how they were informed a while back, never patched it, and the founder of the bug is now disclosing based on the timetable they gave the. Feels that way anyway.

    This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to leverage sudo’s -R (–chroot) option to run arbitrary commands as root, even if they are not listed in the sudoers file.
