Summary
CVE-2023-42465 is a vulnerability affecting Sudo versions prior to 1.9.15. The issue stems from the application's logic that relies on not equating an error value instead of equating a success value. This quirk exposes Sudo to row hammer attacks, which could lead to authentication bypass or privilege escalation. The vulnerability arises due to the values not being resilient to a single-bit flip.
