[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : sudo
Date : April 28, 2010
Affected: 2009.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in sudo:

The command matching functionality in sudo 1.6.8 through 1.7.2p5 does
not properly handle when a file in the current working directory has
the same name as a pseudo-command in the sudoers file and the PATH
contains an entry for ., which allows local users to execute arbitrary
commands via a Trojan horse executable, as demonstrated using sudoedit,
a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0426 (CVE-2010-1163).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Update:

Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance
Program.
