CVE-2019-18634

⚠️ This code has only been tested on sudo 1.8.25. The bug impacts <1.8.30, but there are differences in character handling that prevent this PoC from executing (this does not mitigate the exploitability of the bug). See #1 ⚠️

Functional exploit for CVE-2019-18634, a heap buffer overflow that leads to privilege escalation on sudo <=1.8.30 if pwfeedback is enabled.

This repo contains both a single-file script (self-contained.sh), and the scripts used to generate it (under src)
Thanks to yuu and Anonymous_ for help in developing this exploit and these scripts.
