Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66971
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:049 (sudo)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to sudo
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:049.

A vulnerabilitiy 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.

Affected: 2008.0, 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, Corporate 4.0,
Enterprise Server 5.0


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
