Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703440
Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3440-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DSA-3440-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DSA-3440-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: When sudo is configured to allow a user to edit files under a directory that they can already write to without using sudo, they can actually edit (read and write) arbitrary files. Daniel Svartman reported that a configuration like this might be introduced unintentionally if the editable files are specified using wildcards, for example: operator ALL=(root) sudoedit /home/*/*/test.txt The default behaviour of sudo has been changed so that it does not allow editing of a file in a directory that the user can write to, or that is reached by following a symlink in a directory that the user can write to. These restrictions can be disabled, but this is strongly discouraged. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u1. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.10p3-1+deb8u3. For the testing distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.15-1.1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.15-1.1. We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages. Affected Software/OS: 'sudo' package(s) on Debian 7, Debian 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
