RHSA-2002:013: Updated sudo package is available
Description
This updated sudo package fixes a potential local root exploit.
Versions of sudo prior to 1.6.4 would not clear the environment before sending an email notification about unauthorized sudo attempts, making it possible for an attacker to supply parameters to the mail program. In the worst case, this could lead to a local root exploit. Users of sudo are advised to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which is not vulnerable to this issue.
