CVE-2024-37408 (GCVE-0-2024-37408)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-06-08 00:00 – Updated: 2024-09-06 18:33 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
fprintd through 1.94.3 lacks a security attention mechanism, and thus unexpected actions might be authorized by "auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so" for Sudo. NOTE: the supplier disputes this because they believe issue resolution would involve modifying the PAM configuration to restrict pam_fprintd.so to front-ends that implement a proper attention mechanism, not modifying pam_fprintd.so or fprintd.
Severity
7.3 (High)
