Detail

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in sudo:

Sudo 1.7.0 through 1.7.4p3, when a Runas group is configured, does not properly handle use of the -u option in conjunction with the -g option, which allows local users to gain privileges via a command line containing a -u root sequence (CVE-2010-2956).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Title: USN-983-1 -- sudo vulnerability
Description: Markus Wuethrich discovered that sudo did not always verify the user when a group was specified in the Runas_Spec. A local attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as root if sudo was configured to allow the attacker to use a program as a group when the attacker was not a part of that group.
