CVE-2023-42465 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Amazon-Linux security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Amazon-Linux:2.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sudo-devel package and not the sudo-devel package as distributed by Amazon-Linux.
Sudo before 1.9.15 might allow row hammer attacks (for authentication bypass or privilege escalation) because application logic sometimes is based on not equaling an error value (instead of equaling a success value), and because the values do not resist flips of a single bit.
