Descriptions

Sudo before 1.6.6 contains an off-by-one error that can result in a heap-based buffer overflow that may allow local users to gain root privileges via special characters in the -p (prompt) argument, which are not properly expanded.

Desbordamiento del montón (heap) en sudo anteriores a 1.6.6 puede permitir a usuarios locales ganar privilegios de root mediante caractéres especiales en el argumento -p (prompt), que no son expandidos adecuadamente.
