CVE-2018-10852
Last modified
CVE-2018-10852 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The UNIX pipe which sudo uses to contact SSSD and read the available sudo rules from SSSD has too wide permissions, which means that anyone who can send a message using the same raw protocol that sudo and SSSD use can read the sudo rules available for any user. This affects versions of SSSD before 1.16.3.. EPSS estimates a 1.52% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
