Hallo schwarzheit,
vielen Dank. Unten findest Du noch ein Zitat zum Problem. Besser kann ich es auch nicht beschreiben.
Ich will nur wissen, ob Ubuntu etwas unternommen hat, um die Vulnerability zu beseitigen und ob diese Maßnahme dazu geführt hat, dass die Anweisung sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash nicht mehr richtig ausgeführt wird.
Zitat https://www.heise.de/en/news/chwoot-Critical-Linux-vulnerability-makes-users-root-on-most-systems-10466916.html ––––––––- Anfang
There is a critical security flaw in the Linux tool "sudo" and makes unprivileged users "root", the system administrator, in no time at all. The reason for the malaise: a bug in the chroot function of sudo. This function is actually intended to "lock" users in their home directory, but allows them to break out of it and extend their rights. An update is available; admins of multi-user systems should act quickly.
The vulnerability exploits a bug in the chroot implementation. Between two function calls, this calls the "Name Service Switch" (NSS), which in turn loads the file /etc/nsswitch.conf. The attacker can now cause this function to load a file he has prepared with C code (a dynamic .so library) and execute it with root rights.
Critical vulnerability in many versions
The vulnerability is hidden in various sudo versions – it is unclear in which ones exactly. The discoverer, Rich Mirch from "Stratascale Cyber Research Unit", was unable to test all versions. However, he is certain that the vulnerability is not present in older versions prior to sudo 1.8.32, as the malicious code only appeared in this version. The bug can be found in the stable versions 1.9.14 to 1.9.17 that he tested. It has the CVE ID CVE-2025-32463 and a CVSS rating of 9.2 (priority: "critical"). The discoverer provides an example exploit.
This makes many, possibly millions of Linux systems vulnerable. Ubuntu in its current version 24.04.1, Fedora 41 and potentially many other distribution versions are at risk. However, updated packages are already available, under Ubuntu for all versions from Jammy to Plucky. They port the bugfix contained in sudo 1.9.17p1 to the sudo version used there. The currently stable Debian version "Bookworm" is not affected – its sudo version is simply too old.
