- JoshTriplett 10mo ago"moderate" makes sense here; those are issues that needed fixing, but they wouldn't give someone privileged access they shouldn't have, and they occur in non-default configurations.
- porridgeraisin 10mo ago> access they shouldn't have It does, quotes from https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/security/advisories/GHSA-q428-6v73-fc4q https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/security/a... below: > A highly-privileged user (able to run commands as other users, or as root, through sudo) who knows one password of an account they are allowed to run commands as, would be able to run commands as any other account the policy permits them to run commands for, even if they don't know the password for those accounts. > A common instance of this would be that a user can still use their own password to run commands as root (the default behaviour of sudo), effectively negating the intended behaviour of the targetpw or rootpw options.
- JoshTriplett 10mo agoI stand corrected, you're right. I misread the description of the vulnerability.
- bartimus 10mo agoI'm surprised how little attention this is getting on HN.
