> Timestamp files did not take into account the setting of the Defaults targetpw and Defaults rootpw (GHSA-c978-wq47-pvvw)
It does, quotes from https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/security/a... below:
> A highly-privileged user (able to run commands as other users, or as root, through sudo) who knows one password of an account they are allowed to run commands as, would be able to run commands as any other account the policy permits them to run commands for, even if they don't know the password for those accounts.
> A common instance of this would be that a user can still use their own password to run commands as root (the default behaviour of sudo), effectively negating the intended behaviour of the targetpw or rootpw options.
Updates are probably required for a large number of servers.
This never affected any servers, because non-LTS ubuntu versions are never used in productions. They are essentially treated as betas.
