Descriptions

sudo 1.6.0 through 1.6.3p7 does not properly clear the environment before calling the mail program, which could allow local users to gain root privileges by modifying environment variables and changing how the mail program is invoked.

sudo 1.6.0 hasta 1.6.3p7 no limpia adecuadamente todo el entorno antes de llamar al programa de correo, lo cual podrĂ­a permitir que usuarios locales obtengan privilegios de root (modificando las variables de entorno y cambiando el modo en que el programa es invocado).
