Posted Apr 28, 2010

Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-078 - The command matching functionality in sudo 1.6.8 through 1.7.2p5 does not properly handle when a file in the current working directory has the same name as a pseudo-command in the sudoers file and the PATH contains an entry for ., which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a Trojan horse executable, as demonstrated using sudoedit, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0426. Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.
