sudo vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote package "sudo" is missing a security patch. Description : Charles Morris discovered a race condition in sudo which could lead to privilege escalation. If /etc/sudoers permited a user the execution of selected programs, and this was followed by another line containing the pseudo-command "ALL", that user could execute arbitrary commands with sudo by creating symbolic links at a certain time. Please note that this does not affect a standard Ubuntu installation. Solution : Upgrade to : - sudo-1.6.8p5-1ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
