    sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run
    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>
