sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run + commands as other users. +

+
+ +

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in sudo:

+ +
    +
  • When the sudoers file is configured with a Runas group, sudo does not + prompt for a password when changing to the new group (CVE-2011-0010). +
  • +
  • A format string vulnerability exists in the "sudo_debug()" function + (CVE-2012-0809). +
  • +
+
+ +

A local attacker could possibly gain the ability to run arbitrary + commands with the privileges of other users or groups, including root. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version:
