    Package : sudo
    Vulnerability : several issues
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-1775 CVE-2013-1776
    Debian Bug : 701838 701839

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in sudo, a program designed
    to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2013-1775

    Marco Schoepl discovered an authentication bypass when the clock is
    set to the UNIX epoch [00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970].

    CVE-2013-1776

    Ryan Castellucci and James Ogden discovered aspects of an issue that
    would allow session id hijacking from another authorized tty.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.4.

    For the testing (wheezy) and unstable (sid) distributions, these problems
    have been fixed in version 1.8.5p2-1+nmu1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.
