CVE-2024-37408 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:23.10 fprintd.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream fprintd package and not the fprintd package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:23.10 relevant fixed versions and status.
fprintd through 1.94.3 lacks a security attention mechanism, and thus unexpected actions might be authorized by "auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so" for Sudo. NOTE: the supplier disputes this because they believe issue resolution would involve modifying the PAM configuration to restrict pam_fprintd.so to front-ends that implement a proper attention mechanism, not modifying pam_fprintd.so or fprintd.
