# Authors and Contributors: cts, help from r4j, debug by nu11secur1ty
# Date: 30.01.2021
# Vendor: https://www.sudo.ws/

[Exploit Program Code]

// Exploit by @gf_256 aka cts
// With help from r4j
// Debug by @nu11secur1ty
// Original advisory by Baron Samedit of Qualys

// Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 & 20.04.01
// You will probably need to adjust RACE_SLEEP_TIME.
