Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0261)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0261 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0261 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A vulnerability in functionality for adding support of SHA-2 digests along with the command was found. The sudoers plugin performs this digest verification while matching rules, and later independently calls execve() to execute the binary. This results in a race condition if the digest functionality is used as suggested (in fact, the rules are matched before the user is prompted for a password, so there is not negligible time frame to replace the binary from underneath sudo) (CVE-2015-8239). Affected Software/OS: 'sudo' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
