Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient implementation of security measures when running sudo with -h (--host) option. If the current configuration provides access to users based on the host they are allowed to execute commands, a local user can bypass such a restriction by providing the hostname via the "-h" option they are allowed to execute commands. The vulnerability affects systems that use a common sudoers file that is distributed to multiple machines or when LDAP-based sudoers (including SSSD) is used.
