  • Two flaws were first introduced in late 2013
  • They reside in the Sudo command-line utility
  • Patches are available and users are advised to apply them

Two vulnerabilities were recently spotted in various Linux distributions which, when chained together, allow local attackers to escalate their privileges and thus run arbitrary files.

The vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2025-32462 (severity score 2.8/10 – low severity), and CVE-2025-32463 (severity score 9.3/10 critical), and were found in the Sudo command-line utility for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.
