Synopsis
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in sudo which could result in
privilege escalation.

Background
=========
sudo allows a system administrator to give users the ability to run
commands as other users. Access to commands may also be granted on a
range to hosts.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  app-admin/sudo              < 1.8.6_p7               >= 1.8.6_p7

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in sudo:

* sudo does not correctly validate the controlling terminal on a system
  without /proc or when the tty_tickets option is enabled.
* sudo does not properly handle the clock when it is set to the epoch.

Impact
=====
A local attacker with sudo privileges could connect to the stdin,
stdout, and stderr of the terminal of a user who has authenticated with
sudo, allowing the attacker to hijack the authorization of the other
user. Additionally, a local or physically proximate attacker could set
the system clock to the epoch, bypassing time restrictions on sudo
authentication.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All sudo users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/sudo-1.8.6_p7"
