Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0046
Package name: sudo
Summary: Minor security issue
Date: 2002-04-29
Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem description:
There was a problem in the old sudo package involving a heap overflow. In
general heap overflows are difficult to exploit, but as this one potentially
could lead to root-access, it should be considered a bit more critical.
The issue is fixed upstream, and we now provide sudo version 1.6.6
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed are upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
package, you may want to remove it from your system.
