Descriptions

sudo 1.6.x before 1.6.9p21, when the runas_default option is used, does not properly set group memberships, which allows local users to gain privileges via a sudo command.

sudo v1.6.x anterior a v1.6.9p21 cuando se utiliza la opción runas_default no establece adecuadamente las pertenencias a grupos, esto permite a usuarios locales aumentar sus privilegios mediante un comando sudo.
