Descriptions

check.c in sudo 1.7.x before 1.7.4p5, when a Runas group is configured, does not require a password for command execution that involves a gid change but no uid change, which allows local users to bypass an intended authentication requirement via the -g option to a sudo command.

check.c para sudo v1.7.x anterior a v1.7.4p5, cuando un grupo Runas se configura no requiere una contraseña para la ejecución de comandos, lo que implica un cambio gid pero no un cambio de UID, lo que permite a usuarios locales eludir un requisito de autenticación a través de la opción -g del comando sudo.
