<p>
sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to
run commands as other users.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The sudoers file is used to define the actions sudo users are
permitted to perform. Charles Morris discovered that a specific layout
of the sudoers file could cause the results of an internal check to be
clobbered, leaving sudo vulnerable to a race condition.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Successful exploitation would permit a local sudo user to execute
arbitrary commands as another user.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Reorder the sudoers file using the visudo utility to ensure the
'ALL' pseudo-command precedes other command definitions.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/sudo-1.6.8_p9"</code>
</resolution>
