Debian Security Advisory DSA 735-2 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone
July 07, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : sudo
Vulnerability : pathname validation race
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CAN-2005-1993
Debian Bug : 315115
A local user who has been granted permission to run commands via sudo
could run arbitrary commands as a privileged user due to a flaw in
sudo's pathname validation. This bug only affects configurations which
have restricted user configurations prior to an ALL directive in the
configuration file. A workaround is to move any ALL directives to the
beginning of the sudoers file; see the advisory at
http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/path_race.html for more information.
For the old stable Debian distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 1.6.6-1.3woody1.
For the current stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed
in version 1.6.8p7-1.1sarge1.
For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version
1.6.8p9-1.
The only change since DSA 735-1 is the addition of certain architectures
which were not available in the original advisory.
We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package.
