Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: sudo
Affected products: Immunix OS 7.0-beta and 7.0
Bugs Fixed: immunix/1328
Date: February 26, 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-004-01
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@wirex.com>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
The version of sudo shipped in Immunix OS 7.0-beta and 7.0 contains a
buffer overflow of a variable that is on the heap (which StackGuard
does not protect against.) This problem was originally reported by
Chris Wilson (see http://www.courtesan.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D27
for his original bug report.) The 1.6.3p6 version of sudo was released
to fix this problem.
