CVE-2019-19232 (GCVE-0-2019-19232)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-12-19 20:37 – Updated: 2024-08-05 02:09 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
In Sudo through 1.8.29, an attacker with access to a Runas ALL sudoer account can impersonate a nonexistent user by invoking sudo with a numeric uid that is not associated with any user. NOTE: The software maintainer believes that this is not a vulnerability because running a command via sudo as a user not present in the local password database is an intentional feature. Because this behavior surprised some users, sudo 1.8.30 introduced an option to enable/disable this behavior with the default being disabled. However, this does not change the fact that sudo was behaving as intended, and as documented, in earlier versions

Because this behavior surprised some users, sudo 1.8.30 introduced an option to enable/disable this behavior with the default being disabled. However, this does not change the fact that sudo was behaving as intended, and as documented, in earlier versions"

NOTA: El responsable del software cree que esto no es una vulnerabilidad porque ejecutar un comando a trav\u00e9s de sudo como un usuario que no est\u00e1 presente en la base de datos de contrase\u00f1as local es una caracter\u00edstica intencional. Debido a que este comportamiento sorprendi\u00f3 a algunos usuarios, sudo 1.8.30 introdujo una opci\u00f3n para habilitar / deshabilitar este comportamiento con el valor predeterminado deshabilitado. Sin embargo, esto no cambia el hecho de que sudo se estaba comportando seg\u00fan lo previsto, y seg\u00fan lo documentado, en versiones anteriores."

Because this behavior surprised some users, sudo 1.8.30 introduced an option to enable/disable this behavior with the default being disabled.

Debido a que este comportamiento sorprendi\u00f3 a algunos usuarios, sudo 1.8.30 introdujo una opci\u00f3n para habilitar / deshabilitar este comportamiento con el valor predeterminado deshabilitado.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
