+ <background>
+ <p>
+ sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run
+ commands as other users.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The command matching functionality does not properly handle when a file
+ in the current working directory has the same name as a pseudo-command
+ in the sudoers file and the PATH contains an entry for ".".
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker with the permission to run sudoedit could, under
+ certain circumstances, execute arbitrary commands as whichever user he
+ has permission to run sudoedit as, typically root.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </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_p6&quot;</code>
