Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006-159 - Previous sudo updates were made available to sanitize certain environment variables from affecting a sudo call, such as PYTHONINSPECT, PERL5OPT, etc. While those updates were effective in addressing those specific environment variables, other variables that were not blacklisted were being made available.

Tavis Ormandy noticed that sudo did not filter out the PYTHONINSPECT environment variable, so that users with the limited privilege of calling a python script with sudo could still escalate their privileges.

On executing Perl scripts with sudo, various environment variables that affect Perl's library search path were not cleaned properly. If sudo is set up to grant limited sudo execution of Perl scripts to normal users, this could be exploited to run arbitrary commands as the target user.
