I've been asked by one of my customers, "UNIX System Services is vulnerable to the sudoedit vulnerability?".  I then opened a case with the IBM support center, and they informed me that IBM no longer supports this, and it is supported by Rocket Software.  What "opensource", or purchased product from Rocket has this support?

Thanks,

    Hi Steven,
    Sudo is covered by Rocket Open AppDev for Z support contract. We are working on applying the patch and the updated build will be available on Rocket Secure server.

    How can you determine if you have Rocket Open AppDev for Z installed on
    your system?

    Steve,
    Let's start with command sudo -V . If the output has Sudo version 1.8.21p2, it means that you have Rocket's sudo installed.
