Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53087
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:103 (sudo)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to sudo
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:103.

A race condition was discovered in sudo by Charles Morris. This could
lead to the escalation of privileges if /etc/sudoers allowed a user to
execute selected programs that were then followed by another line
containing the pseudo-command ALL. By creating symbolic links at a
certain time, that user could execute arbitrary commands.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
