CVE-2024-37408
Last modified
CVE-2024-37408 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.3/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
