If you SSH in as root and run /etc/webmin/restart , does that fix the issue?

Nope, I try restarting the service and not work

Does it help if you logout of Webmin and login again? And refresh the page in your browser?

I try to do this in incognito mode, and find the same error after login :-/

Dear Jamie Cameron I rolled back the system using the below commands:

Now the system is restored and working on v1.962 The upgrade to 1.970 have any issue, I have upgraded my systems multiple times in the past and never has been an issue.. this case is different.

Thank you! mrcheidel

When you restart Webmin does the pid change?

Is there a way to login and have a closer look? It mustn't be happening.

Okay, this issue has been reproduced and fixed.

It was tricky to find out the cause, as it only affected logins with sudo-capable users.

Webmin 1.971 will have it fixed. Meanwhile, you can manually apply the patch and restart Webmin.
