sudo: Arbitrary command execution Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200506-22 (sudo: Arbitrary command execution) The sudoers file is used to define the actions sudo users are permitted to perform. Charles Morris discovered that a specific layout of the sudoers file could cause the results of an internal check to be clobbered, leaving sudo vulnerable to a race condition. Impact Successful exploitation would permit a local sudo user to execute arbitrary commands as another user. Workaround Reorder the sudoers file using the visudo utility to ensure the 'ALL' pseudo-command precedes other command definitions. References: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/path_race.html Solution: All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/sudo-1.6.8_p9" Network Security Threat Level: Medium Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
