+ <package name="app-admin/sudo" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run
+ commands as other users.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Harald Koenig discovered that sudo incorrectly handles group
+ specifications in Runas_Alias (and related) entries when a group is
+ specified in the list (using %group syntax, to allow a user to run
+ commands as any member of that group) and the user is already a member
+ of that group.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could possibly run commands as an arbitrary system
+ user (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-1.7.0"</code>
+ </resolution>
