Debian: 'sudo' buffer overflow
Summary
Todd Miller announced a new version of sudo which corrects a buffer
overflow that could potentially be used to gain root privilages on the
local system. The fix from sudo 1.6.3p6 is available in sudo
1.6.2p2-1potato1 for Debian 2.2 (potato).
We recommend you upgrade your sudo package immediately.
