Slackware 14.1 SSA:2015-047-03 Moderate: Sudo Denial Of Service
slackware
February 16, 2015
New sudo packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix a security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/sudo-1.8.12-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a potential security issue by only passing the TZ environment variable it is considered safe. This prevents exploiting bugs in glibc's TZ parser that could be used to read files that the user does not have access to, or to cause a denial of service. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2014-9680 (* Security fix *)
