Vulnerability Discussion

"sudo" is a program designed to allow a system administrator to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow system users to get their work done.

Check

The sudo package can be installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf install sudo

Fix

Verify that RHEL 9 sudo package is installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf list --installed sudo

Example output:

sudo.x86_64 1.9.5p2-7.el9
