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 SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

Sudo 1.8.0 through 1.9.12, with the crypt() password backend, contains a plugins/sudoers/auth/passwd.c array-out-of-bounds error that can result in a heap-based buffer over-read. This can be triggered by arbitrary local users with access to Sudo by entering a password of seven characters or fewer. The impact could vary depending on the system libraries, compiler, and processor architecture.
