CVE-2005-4890
Published: 4 November 2019
There is a possible tty hijacking in shadow 4.x before 4.1.5 and sudo 1.x before 1.7.4 via "su - user -c program". The user session can be escaped to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the input buffer to be read by the next process.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| mdeslaur | sudo is also apprently vulnerable to this, so the use_pty option was added. We need to verify versions, and make sure it is actually getting honored (apparently the option wasn't working: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/06/22/4) |
| jdstrand | sudo in 12.04 and higher has the fix for use_pty. A small patch (http://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/8d95a163dfc1) can be used to enable it on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10. |
| mdeslaur | Please note that use_pty is not enabled by default in sudo, it must be specifically enabled. |
| seth-arnold | su interactive has the same problem, no fix known on 20130305 |
