commands as other users.

<description>
<p>
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in sudo:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Glenn Waller and neonsignal reported that sudo does not properly
handle access control of the "sudoedit" pseudo-command
(CVE-2010-0426).</li>
<li>Harald Koenig reported that sudo does not
properly set supplementary groups when using the "runas_default" option
(CVE-2010-0427).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker with privileges to use "sudoedit" or the privilege to
execute commands with the "runas_default" setting enabled could
leverage these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with elevated
privileges.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
CVE-2010-0426: Revoke all "sudoedit" privileges, or use the full path
to sudoedit. CVE-2010-0427: Remove all occurrences of the
"runas_default" setting.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-admin/sudo-1.7.2_p4"</code>
</resolution>
