Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53283
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-596-2)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DSA-596-2 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DSA-596-2 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Liam Helmer noticed that sudo, a program that provides limited super user privileges to specific users, does not clean the environment sufficiently. Bash functions and the CDPATH variable are still passed through to the program running as privileged user, leaving possibilities to overload system routines. These vulnerabilities can only be exploited by users who have been granted limited super user privileges.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.6-1.3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.8p3.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package.

Affected Software/OS:
'sudo' package(s) on Debian 3.0.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.2
