-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 946-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze January 20th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : sudo Vulnerability : missing input sanitising Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE IDs : CVE-2005-4158 CVE-2006-0151 Debian Bug : 342948 It has been discovered that sudo, a privileged program, that provides limited super user privileges to specific users, passes several environment variables to the program that runs with elevated privileges. In the case of include paths (e.g. for Perl, Python, Ruby or other scripting languages) this can cause arbitrary code to be executed as privileged user if the attacker points to a manipulated version of a system library. This update alters the former behaviour of sudo and limits the number of supported environment variables to LC_*, LANG, LANGUAGE and TERM. Additional variables are only passed through when set as env_check in /etc/sudoers, which might be required for some scripts to continue to work. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.6-1.5. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8p7-1.3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8p12-1. We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package. For unstable "Defaults = env_reset" need to be addeed to /etc/sudoers manually. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
