<package name="app-admin/sudo" auto="yes" arch="*">

<background>
<p>sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run commands as other users.</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>The sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process.</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>The improper processing of user's environment variables could lead to the editing of arbitrary files as root, potentially leading to root privilege escalation.</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/sudo-1.9.12_p2"
</code>
</resolution>
