[ MDVSA-2010:049 ] sudo

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : sudo
Date : February 25, 2010
Affected: 2008.0, 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, Corporate 4.0,
Enterprise Server 5.0

Problem Description:

A vulnerabilitiy has been found and corrected in sudo:

sudo 1.6.x before 1.6.9p21 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2p4, when a
pseudo-command is enabled, permits a match between the name of the
pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an arbitrary
directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted
executable file, as demonstrated by a file named sudoedit in a user's
home directory (CVE-2010-0426).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
