The remote host is missing an update to sudo
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:018.
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in sudo:
A a patch for parse.c in sudo does not properly interpret a system
group (aka %group) in the sudoers file during authorization decisions
for a user who belongs to that group, which allows local users to
leverage an applicable sudoers file and gain root privileges via a sudo
command. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2009-0034
regression (CVE-2011-0008).
check.c in sudo 1.7.x before 1.7.4p5, when a Runas group is configured,
does not require a password for command execution that involves a
gid change but no uid change, which allows local users to bypass an
intended authentication requirement via the -g option to a sudo command
(CVE-2011-0010).
Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance
Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
