Detail
| Problem Description: An updated sudo package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: The sudo (superuser do) utility allows system administrators to give certain users the ability to run commands as root. A flaw was found in the way sudo handled Runas specifications containing both a user and a group list. If a local user were authorized by the sudoers file to perform their sudo commands with the privileges of a specified user and group, they could use this flaw to run those commands with the privileges of either an arbitrary user or group on the system. (CVE-2010-2956) Red Hat would like to thank Markus Wuethrich of Swiss Post - PostFinance for reporting this issue. Users of sudo should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 628628 - CVE-2010-2956 sudo: incorrect handling of RunAs specification with both user and group lists |

| 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. | ||
