Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: sudo
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:103
Date: June 21st, 2005

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A race condition was discovered in sudo by Charles Morris. This could lead to the escalation of privileges if /etc/sudoers allowed a user to execute selected programs that were then followed by another line containing the pseudo-command "ALL". By creating symbolic links at a certain time, that user could execute arbitrary commands.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
