Debian Security Advisory DSA 101-1 security@debian.org

Package : sudo
Vulnerability : Root exploit
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
Sebastian Krahmer from SuSE found a vulnerability in sudo which could
easily lead into a local root exploit.
This problem has been fixed in upstream version 1.6.4 as well as in
version 1.6.2p2-2.1 for the stable release of Debian GNU/Linux.
We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
