+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in sudo:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Evan
+ Broder and Anders Kaseorg of Ksplice, Inc. reported that the sudo
+ 'secure path' feature does not properly handle multiple PATH variables
+ (CVE-2010-1646).</li>
+ <li>Markus Wuethrich of Swiss Post reported that
+ sudo fails to restrict access when using Runas groups and the group
+ (-g) command line option (CVE-2010-2956).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to gain the
+ ability to run certain commands with the privileges of other users,
+ including root, depending on the configuration.
+ </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-1.7.4_p3-r1"</code>
