Check for the version of the sudo package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:103 (sudo). A race condition was discovered in sudo by Charles Morris. This could lead to the escalation of rights if /etc/sudoers permited a user to execute selected programs that were then followed by another line containing the pseudo-command 'ALL'. By creating symbolic links at a certain time, that user could execute arbitrary commands. The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
