Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:003 (sudo)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to sudo announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:003. The SuSE Security Team discovered a vulnerability in sudo that can be exploited to obtain root privilege because sudo is installed setuid root. An attacker could trick sudo to log failed sudo calls executing the sendmail (or equivalent mailer) program with root privileges and an environment that is not completely clean. This problem has been fixed upstream by the author in sudo 1.6.4 and it is highly recommended that all users upgrade regardless of what mailer you are using. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1, Single Network Firewall 7.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2002:003 Risk factor : High
