Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for sudo CESA-2017:1382 centos6
Summary:Check the version of sudo
Description:Summary:
Check the version of sudo

Vulnerability Insight:
The sudo packages contain the sudo utility
which allows system administrators to provide certain users with the permission
to execute privileged commands, which are used for system management purposes,
without having to log in as root. Security Fix(es): * A flaw was found in the
way sudo parsed tty information from the process status file in the proc
filesystem. A local user with privileges to execute commands via sudo could use
this flaw to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2017-1000367) Red Hat would
like to thank Qualys Security for reporting this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
sudo on CentOS 6

Please Install the Updated Packages.
