Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-722-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the USN-722-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the USN-722-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Harald Koenig discovered that sudo did not correctly handle certain privilege changes when handling groups. If a local attacker belonged to a group included in a 'RunAs' list in the /etc/sudoers file, that user could gain root privileges. This was not an issue for the default sudoers file shipped with Ubuntu. Affected Software/OS: 'sudo' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10. 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
