Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68933
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1046-1 (sudo)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-1046-1 (sudo)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to sudo announced via advisory USN-1046-1. Details follow: Alexander Kurtz discovered that sudo would not prompt for a password when a group was specified in the Runas_Spec. A local attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as the specified group if sudo was configured to allow the attacker to use a program as this group. The group Runas_Spec is not used in the default installation of Ubuntu. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 9.10: sudo 1.7.0-1ubuntu2.6 sudo-ldap 1.7.0-1ubuntu2.6 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: sudo 1.7.2p1-1ubuntu5.3 sudo-ldap 1.7.2p1-1ubuntu5.3 Ubuntu 10.10: sudo 1.7.2p7-1ubuntu2.1 sudo-ldap 1.7.2p7-1ubuntu2.1 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1046-1 Risk factor : Medium
