Descriptions

parse.c in sudo 1.6.9p17 through 1.6.9p19 does not properly interpret a system group (aka %group) in the sudoers file during authorization decisions for a user who belongs to that group, which allows local users to leverage an applicable sudoers file and gain root privileges via a sudo command.

parse.c de sudo v1.6.9p17 hasta v1.6.9p19, no interpreta correctamente un grupo del sistema (también conocido como %group) en el fichero sudoers durante la decisión de autorización para un usuario que pertenezca a ese grupo. Esto permite a usuarios locales utilizar un fichero sudoers y obtener privilegios de root (administrador) a través de un comando sudo.
