commands as other users.

<description>
<p>Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in sudo:</p>
<ul>
<li>When the sudoers file is configured with a Runas group, sudo does not
prompt for a password when changing to the new group (CVE-2011-0010).
</li>
<li>A format string vulnerability exists in the "sudo_debug()" function
(CVE-2012-0809).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>A local attacker could possibly gain the ability to run arbitrary
commands with the privileges of other users or groups, including root.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</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-1.8.3_p2"
</code>
</resolution>
