✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://images.redhat.com/ Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability. Users of affected Red Hat products should install the updated sudo packages available through their product's standard update channels. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, disable the ptrace-based intercept mode in the `sudoers` configuration. Add `Defaults !intercept` to `/etc/sudoers` or a file within `/etc/sudoers.d/`. This action may affect advanced `sudo` policy enforcement or logging features that rely on ptrace-based interception. Always validate `sudoers` file changes with `visudo` to prevent system lockout.
