    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5811-1

    Ubuntu Security Notice 5811-1 - Matthieu Barjole and Victor Cutillas
    discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled user-specified editors when using
    the sudoedit command. A local attacker that has permission to use the
    sudoedit command could possibly use this issue to edit arbitrary files. It
    was discovered that the Protobuf-c library, used by Sudo, incorrectly
    handled certain arithmetic shifts. An attacker could possibly use this
    issue to cause Sudo to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue
    only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
