Package        : sudo

Vulnerability  : Root exploit

Problem-Type   : local

Debian-specific: no



Sebastian Krahmer from SuSE found a vulnerability in sudo which could

easily lead into a local root exploit.



This problem has been fixed in upstream version 1.6.4 as well as in

version 1.6.2p2-2.1 for the stable release of Debian GNU/Linux.



We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages immediately.



wget url

	will fetch the file for you

dpkg -i file.deb

        will install the referenced file.



If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for

sources.list as given below:



apt-get update

        will update the internal database

apt-get upgrade

        will install corrected packages



You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the

footer to the proper configuration.
