DESCRIPTION
“sudo” is a program used to delegate superuser privileges to
ordinary users and only for specific commands. There is a buffer
overflow vulnerability in sudo which could be used by an attacker
to obtain higher privileges.

SOLUTION
All sudo users should upgrade the package.

The problem was reported in sudo’s bugzilla by
chris@camcom.co.uk and the author, Todd C. Miller, released an
updated version.
