Debian Security Advisory DSA 946-2 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
April 8th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : sudo
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2005-4158 CVE-2006-0151
Debian Bug : 342948
The former correction to vulnerabilities in the sudo package worked
fine but were too strict for some environments. Therefore we have
reviewed the changes again and allowed some environment variables to
go back into the privileged execution environment. Hence, this
update.
The configuration option "env_reset" is now activated by default. It
will preserve only the environment variables HOME, LOGNAME, PATH,
SHELL, TERM, DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY, XAUTHORIZATION, LANG, LANGUAGE,
LC_*, and USER in addition to the separate SUDO_* variables.
For completeness please find below the original advisory text:
It has been discovered that sudo, a privileged program, that
provides limited super user privileges to specific users, passes
several environment variables to the program that runs with
elevated privileges. In the case of include paths (e.g. for Perl,
Python, Ruby or other scripting languages) this can cause arbitrary
code to be executed as privileged user if the attacker points to a
manipulated version of a system library.
This update alters the former behaviour of sudo and limits the
number of supported environment variables to LC_*, LANG, LANGUAGE
and TERM. Additional variables are only passed through when set as
env_check in /etc/sudoers, which might be required for some scripts
to continue to work.
For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.6-1.6.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.8p7-1.4.
For the unstable distribution (sid) the same behaviour will be
implemented soon.
