Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71676
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1442-1 (sudo)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to sudo
announced via advisory USN-1442-1.

Details:

It was discovered that sudo incorrectly handled network masks when using Host
and Host_List. A local user who is listed in sudoers may be allowed to run
commands on unintended hosts when IPv4 network masks are used to grant access.
A local attacker could exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions. Host
and Host_List are not used in the default installation of Ubuntu.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 11.10:
sudo 1.7.4p6-1ubuntu2.1
sudo-ldap 1.7.4p6-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 11.04:
sudo 1.7.4p4-5ubuntu7.2
sudo-ldap 1.7.4p4-5ubuntu7.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
sudo 1.7.2p1-1ubuntu5.4
sudo-ldap 1.7.2p1-1ubuntu5.4

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
sudo 1.6.9p10-1ubuntu3.9
sudo-ldap 1.6.9p10-1ubuntu3.9
