Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0266-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0266-01
Posted Mar 10, 2014
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0266-01 - The sudo utility allows system administrators to give certain users the ability to run commands as root. A flaw was found in the way sudo handled its blacklist of environment variables. When the "env_reset" option was disabled, a user permitted to run certain commands via sudo could use this flaw to run such a command with one of the blacklisted environment variables set, allowing them to run an arbitrary command with the target user's privileges. Note: This issue does not affect the default configuration of the sudo package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
