+ sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in sudo:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Glenn Waller and neonsignal reported that sudo does not properly
+ handle access control of the "sudoedit" pseudo-command
+ (CVE-2010-0426).</li>
+ <li>Harald Koenig reported that sudo does not
+ properly set supplementary groups when using the "runas_default" option
+ (CVE-2010-0427).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker with privileges to use "sudoedit" or the privilege to
+ execute commands with the "runas_default" setting enabled could
+ leverage these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with elevated
+ privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ CVE-2010-0426: Revoke all "sudoedit" privileges, or use the full path
+ to sudoedit. CVE-2010-0427: Remove all occurrences of the
+ "runas_default" setting.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-admin/sudo-1.7.2_p4&quot;</code>
