Package : sudo
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1051
Debian Bug : 281665
This update removes the debug output which was left over in the update
from DSA 596-1. For completeness below is the original advisory text:
Liam Helmer noticed that sudo, a program that provides limited
super user privileges to specific users, does not clean the
environment sufficiently. Bash functions and the CDPATH variable
are still passed through to the program running as privileged user,
leaving possibilities to overload system routines. These
vulnerabilities can only be exploited by users who have been
granted limited super user privileges.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.6.6-1.3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.6.8p3.
We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package.
