Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.841754
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-2146-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the USN-2146-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the USN-2146-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Sebastien Macke discovered that Sudo incorrectly filtered environment
variables when the env_reset option was disabled. A local attacker could
use this issue to possibly run unintended commands by using environment
variables that were intended to be blocked. In a default Ubuntu
installation, the env_reset option is enabled by default. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0106)

It was discovered that the Sudo init script set a date in the past on
existing timestamp files instead of using epoch to invalidate them
completely. A local attacker could possibly modify the system time to
attempt to reuse timestamp files. This issue only applied to Ubuntu
12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.10. (LP: #1223297)

Affected Software/OS:
'sudo' package(s) on Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
