+ <title>sudo: Arbitrary command execution</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A vulnerability in sudo may allow local users to elevate privileges.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to
+ run commands as other users.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would permit a local sudo user to execute
+ arbitrary commands as another user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Reorder the sudoers file using the visudo utility to ensure the
+ 'ALL' pseudo-command precedes other command definitions.
+ </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-1.6.8_p9"</code>
