medium Nessus Plugin ID 44919

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in sudo :

sudo 1.6.x before 1.6.9p21 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2p4, when a pseudo-command is enabled, permits a match between the name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an arbitrary directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted executable file, as demonstrated by a file named sudoedit in a user's home directory (CVE-2010-0426).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Solution

Update the affected sudo package.
