CVS commit: pkgsrc/security/sudo



Module Name:    pkgsrc
Committed By:   taca
Date:           Thu Jun  3 14:53:14 UTC 2010

Modified Files:
        pkgsrc/security/sudo: Makefile distinfo

Log Message:
Update security/sudo package to 1.7.2p7.

For more detail: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/secure_path.html

Summary:
    Sudo "secure path" feature works by replacing the PATH environment
    variable with a value specified in the sudoers file, or at
    compile time if the --with-secure-path configure option is used.
    The flaw is that sudo only replaces the first instance of PATH
    in the environment.  If the program being run through sudo uses
    the last instance of PATH in the environment, an attacker may
    be able to avoid the "secure path" restrictions.

Sudo versions affected:
    Sudo 1.3.1 through 1.6.9p22 and Sudo 1.7.0 through 1.7.2p6.
