Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0010
Package names: sudo, tar
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-02-24
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
Trustix Secure Linux 3.0
Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
sudo
Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain
users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands
as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a
per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features
include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a
per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear
audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo
command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers)
on many different machines.
tar
The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can
restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar
can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update
or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support,
automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform
remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full
backups.
Problem description:
sudo < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 >
- New Upstream
- SECURITY Fix: Tavis Ormandy has reported a vulnerability in Sudo caused
due to an error within the environment cleaning. This can be exploited
by a user with sudo access to a python script to gain access to an
interactive python prompt via the "PYTHONINSPECT" environment variable.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the
name CVE-2006-0151 to this issue.
tar < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 >
