Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55745
Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-870-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DSA-870-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DSA-870-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Tavis Ormandy noticed that sudo, a program that provides limited super user privileges to specific users, does not clean the environment sufficiently. The SHELLOPTS and PS4 variables are dangerous and are still passed through to the program running as privileged user. This can result in the execution of arbitrary commands as privileged user when a bash script is executed. These vulnerabilities can only be exploited by users who have been granted limited super user privileges. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.6-1.4. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8p7-1.2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8p9-3. We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package. Affected Software/OS: 'sudo' package(s) on Debian 3.0, Debian 3.1. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
