Summary

The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the FEDORA-2020-7c1b270959 advisory.

Insight

Insight

Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines.

Affected Software

Affected Software

'sudo' package(s) on Fedora 32.

Detection Method
