For customers who cannot update immediately, the following interim partial mitigation using systemtap is suggested:\n1. Install required systemtap packages and dependencies: \n```\nsystemtap yum-utils kernel-devel-\"$(uname -r)\"\n```\nThen for RHEL 7 install kernel debuginfo, using:\n```\ndebuginfo-install -y kernel-\"$(uname -r)\" \n```\nThen for RHEL 8 & 6 install sudo debuginfo, using:\n```\ndebuginfo-install sudo\n```\n2. Create the following systemtap script: (call the file as sudoedit-block.stap)\n```\nprobe process(\"/usr/bin/sudo\").function(\"main\") {\ncommand = cmdline_args(0,0,\"\");\nif (isinstr(command, \"edit\")) {\nraise(9);\n}\n}\n```\n3. Install the script using the following command: (using root)\n```\n# nohup stap -g sudoedit-block.stap &\n```\n(This should output the PID number of the systemtap script)\nThis script will cause the vulnerable sudoedit binary to stop working. The sudo command will still work as usual.\nThe above change does not persist across reboots and must be applied after each reboot.\nPlease consult How to make a systemtap kernel module load persistently across reboots? (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5752521) to learn how to\nturn this into a service managed by initd. \n4. Once the new fixed packages are installed, the systemtap script can be removed by killing the systemtap process. For example, by using:\n```\n# kill -s SIGTERM 7590\n```\n(where 7590 is the PID of the systemtap process)"}, "name": "CVE-2021-3156", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:5", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "sudo", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "sudo", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}], "public_date": "2021-01-26T18:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2021-3156\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-3156\nhttps://www.qualys.com/2021/01/26/cve-2021-3156/baron-samedit-heap-based-overflow-sudo.txt\nhttps://www.sudo.ws/alerts/unescape_overflow.html\nhttps://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog"], "statement": "This flaw does not affect the versions of sudo shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, because the vulnerable code was not present in these versions.", "threat_severity": "Important", "upstream_fix": "sudo 1.9.5p2"}
