CVE-2006-0151 2 Todd Miller, Ubuntu 2 Sudo, Ubuntu Linux 2026-04-16 N/A

sudo 1.5.x allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a .. (dot dot) attack.
CVE-2005-4158 1 Todd Miller 1 Sudo 2026-04-16 N/A
Sudo before 1.6.8 p12, when the Perl taint flag is off, does not clear the (1) PERLLIB, (2) PERL5LIB, and (3) PERL5OPT environment variables, which allows limited local users to cause a Perl script to include and execute arbitrary library files that have the same name as library files that are included by the script.
CVE-2004-1051 5 Debian, Mandrakesoft, Todd Miller and 2 more 7 Debian Linux, Mandrake Linux, Mandrake Linux Corporate Server and 4 more 2026-04-16 N/A
sudo before 1.6.8p2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by using "()" style environment variables to create functions that have the same name as any program within the bash script that is called without using the program's full pathname.
CVE-2005-1119 1 Todd Miller 1 Sudo 2026-04-16 N/A
Sudo VISudo 1.6.8 and earlier allows local users to corrupt arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
CVE-2005-1993 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 2 Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2026-04-16 N/A
Race condition in sudo 1.3.1 up to 1.6.8p8, when the ALL pseudo-command is used after a user entry in the sudoers file, allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack.
CVE-1999-1496 3 Debian, Redhat, Todd Miller 3 Debian Linux, Linux, Sudo 2026-04-16 N/A
Sudo 1.5 in Debian Linux 2.1 and Red Hat 6.0 allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files by attempting to execute the target filename as a program, which generates a different error message when the file does not exist.
CVE-2002-0043 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 3 Linux, Powertools, Sudo 2026-04-16 N/A
sudo 1.6.0 through 1.6.3p7 does not properly clear the environment before calling the mail program, which could allow local users to gain root privileges by modifying environment variables and changing how the mail program is invoked.
CVE-2005-1831 1 Todd Miller 1 Sudo 2026-04-16 8.4 High
Sudo 1.6.8p7 on SuSE Linux 9.3, and possibly other Linux distributions, allows local users to gain privileges by using sudo to call su, then entering a blank password and hitting CTRL-C. NOTE: SuSE and multiple third-party researchers have not been able to replicate this issue, stating "Sudo catches SIGINT and returns an empty string for the password so I don't see how this could happen unless the user's actual password was empty.
CVE-2004-1689 1 Todd Miller 1 Sudo 2026-04-16 N/A
sudoedit (aka sudo -e) in sudo 1.6.8 opens a temporary file with root privileges, which allows local users to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the temporary file before quitting sudoedit.
CVE-2016-7032 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 2 Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-20 N/A
sudo_noexec.so in Sudo before 1.8.15 on Linux might allow local users to bypass intended noexec command restrictions via an application that calls the (1) system or (2) popen function.
CVE-2014-0106 3 Apple, Redhat, Todd Miller 3 Mac Os X, Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-12 N/A
Sudo 1.6.9 before 1.8.5, when env_reset is disabled, does not properly check environment variables for the env_delete restriction, which allows local users with sudo permissions to bypass intended command restrictions via a crafted environment variable.
CVE-2013-2776 3 Apple, Redhat, Todd Miller 3 Mac Os X, Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-11 N/A
sudo 1.3.5 through 1.7.10p5 and 1.8.0 through 1.8.6p6, when running on systems without /proc or the sysctl function with the tty_tickets option enabled, does not properly validate the controlling terminal device, which allows local users with sudo permissions to hijack the authorization of another terminal via vectors related to connecting to the standard input, output, and error file descriptors of another terminal. NOTE: this is one of three closely-related vulnerabilities that were originally assigned CVE-2013-1776, but they have been SPLIT because of different affected versions.
CVE-2010-1646 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 2 Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-11 N/A
The secure path feature in env.c in sudo 1.3.1 through 1.6.9p22 and 1.7.0 through 1.7.2p6 does not properly handle an environment that contains multiple PATH variables, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted value of the last PATH variable.
CVE-2010-2956 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 2 Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-11 N/A
Sudo 1.7.0 through 1.7.4p3, when a Runas group is configured, does not properly handle use of the -u option in conjunction with the -g option, which allows local users to gain privileges via a command line containing a "-u root" sequence.
CVE-2011-0010 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 2 Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-11 N/A
check.c in sudo 1.7.x before 1.7.4p5, when a Runas group is configured, does not require a password for command execution that involves a gid change but no uid change, which allows local users to bypass an intended authentication requirement via the -g option to a sudo command.
CVE-2012-0809 1 Todd Miller 1 Sudo 2025-04-11 N/A
Format string vulnerability in the sudo_debug function in Sudo 1.8.0 through 1.8.3p1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string sequences in the program name for sudo.
CVE-2012-2337 2 Redhat, Todd Miller 2 Enterprise Linux, Sudo 2025-04-11 N/A
sudo 1.6.x and 1.7.x before 1.7.9p1, and 1.8.x before 1.8.4p5, does not properly support configurations that use a netmask syntax, which allows local users to bypass intended command restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by executing a command on a host that has an IPv4 address.

A certain Red Hat script for sudo 1.7.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /var/tmp/nsswitch.conf.bak temporary file.
