Detail

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in sudo:

The command matching functionality in sudo 1.6.8 through 1.7.2p5 does not properly handle when a file in the current working directory has the same name as a pseudo-command in the sudoers file and the PATH contains an entry for ., which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a Trojan horse executable, as demonstrated using sudoedit, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0426 (CVE-2010-1163).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Update:

Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.

Title:	USN-928-1 -- sudo vulnerability
Description:	Valerio Costamagna discovered that sudo did not properly validate the path for the "sudoedit" pseudo-command when the PATH contained only a dot. If secure_path and ignore_dot were disabled, a local attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as root if sudo was configured to allow the attacker to use sudoedit. By default, secure_path is used and the sudoedit pseudo-command is not used in Ubuntu. This is a different but related issue to CVE-2010-0426.

63878	sudo sudoedit Command Matching Failure Privilege Escalation sudo contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to gain access to unauthorized privileges. A user with privilege to execute the sudoedit pseudo-command can place a file with the same name in the current folder and get it executed by sudo, allowing a local attacker to gain execution of arbitrary code as a privileged user, normally root.
