Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-970-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DLA-970-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DLA-970-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The Qualys Security team discovered that sudo, a program designed to provide limited super user privileges to specific users, does not properly parse '/proc/[pid]/stat' to read the device number of the tty from field 7 (tty_nr). A sudoers user can take advantage of this flaw on an SELinux-enabled system to obtain full root privileges. For Debian 7 Wheezy, this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u3. For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.10p3-1+deb8u4. We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages. Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: [link moved to references] Affected Software/OS: 'sudo' package(s) on Debian 7. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
