Date: January 21, 2014
Bugs: #459722
ID: 201401-23
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in sudo which could result in
privilege escalation.
Background
==========
sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run
commands as other users. Access to commands may also be granted on a
range to hosts.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 app-admin/sudo < 1.8.6_p7 >= 1.8.6_p7
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in sudo:
* sudo does not correctly validate the controlling terminal on a system
without /proc or when the tty_tickets option is enabled.
* sudo does not properly handle the clock when it is set to the epoch.
Impact
======
A local attacker with sudo privileges could connect to the stdin,
stdout, and stderr of the terminal of a user who has authenticated with
sudo, allowing the attacker to hijack the authorization of the other
user. Additionally, a local or physically proximate attacker could set
the system clock to the epoch, bypassing time restrictions on sudo
authentication.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=app-admin/sudo-1.8.6_p7”
