CVE-2016-7032

Published: 14 April 2017

sudo_noexec.so in Sudo before 1.8.15 on Linux might allow local users to bypass intended noexec command restrictions via an application that calls the (1) system or (2) popen function.

Notes

AuthorNote
seth-arnold
I'm marking this negligible because this feature seems doomed
to failure in the general case. Any sort of memory-protection flaws
in the target process, or ability to execute system calls directly,
or programs that don't use the standard C libraries, etc. won't be
affected by this feature.
If you rely upon this feature I suggest instead seccomp2-based
filters to disable the execve() and execveat() system calls at the
kernel interface or AppArmor (or other MAC system) to restrict which
executables can be executed.
