CVE-2024-37408

fprintd: unexpected actions might be authorized with fingerprint reader

Published Jun 8, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
