Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1442-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the USN-1442-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the USN-1442-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

Affected Software/OS:
'sudo' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
