+ <p>sudo (su “do”) allows a system administrator to delegate authority

+ <description>
+ <p>sudoedit in sudo is vulnerable to the escalation of privileges by local
+ users via a symlink attack. This can be exploited by a file whose full
+ path is defined using multiple wildcards in “/etc/sudoers”, as
+ demonstrated by “/home/*/*/file.txt”.
