+  <description>
+    <p>Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in sudo:</p>
+    
+    <ul>
+      <li>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). 
+      </li>
+      <li>A format string vulnerability exists in the "sudo_debug()" function
+        (CVE-2012-0809).
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>A local attacker could possibly gain the ability to run arbitrary
+      commands with the privileges of other users or groups, including root.
+    </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 "&gt;=app-admin/sudo-1.8.3_p2"
