Branch: pkgsrc-2010Q1, Version: 1.7.2p7, Package name: sudo-1.7.2p7, Maintainer: kim

Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to
give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their
work done.

   Log message:
   Update security/sudo package to 1.7.2p7.

   For more detail: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/secure_path.html

   Summary:
       Sudo "secure path" feature works by replacing the PATH environment
       variable with a value specified in the sudoers file, or at
       compile time if the --with-secure-path configure option is used.
       The flaw is that sudo only replaces the first instance of PATH
       in the environment.  If the program being run through sudo uses
       the last instance of PATH in the environment, an attacker may
       be able to avoid the "secure path" restrictions.

   Sudo versions affected:
       Sudo 1.3.1 through 1.6.9p22 and Sudo 1.7.0 through 1.7.2p6.

   Log message:
   Update sudo package from sudo-1.7.2p4 to sudo-1.7.2p6.

   Sudo versions 1.7.2p6 and 1.6.9p22 are now available.  These releases
   fix a privilege escalation bug in the sudoedit functionality.

   Summary:
       A flaw exists in sudo's -e option (aka sudoedit) in sudo versions
       1.6.8 through 1.7.2p5 that may give a user with permission to
       run sudoedit the ability to run arbitrary commands.  This bug
       is related to, but distinct from, CVE 2010-0426.

   Sudo versions affected:
       1.6.8 through 1.7.2p5 inclusive.
