Details

Rich Mirch discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled the host option. In environments where per-host rules are configured in the sudoers file, a local attacker could use this issue to bypass the host restrictions. (CVE-2025-32462)

Rich Mirch discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled the chroot option. In environments where the sudoers file is configured to allow the chroot option, a local attacker could use this issue to run arbitrary commands as root. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.10, and Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-32463)
