Descriptions

sudo 1.6.x before 1.6.9p21 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2p4, when a pseudo-command is enabled, permits a match between the name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an arbitrary directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted executable file, as demonstrated by a file named sudoedit in a user's home directory.

sudo v1.6.x anterior a v1.6.9p21 y v1.7.x anterior a v1.7.2p4, cuando un pseudo-comando está activado, permite la coincidencia entre el nombre del pseudo-comando y el nombre de un archivo ejecutable en un directorio cualquiera, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de un archivo ejecutable manipulado, como se ha demostrado mediante el archivo sudoedit en el directorio home de un usuario.
