It was discovered that the sudo noexec restriction could have been bypassed if application run via sudo executed system(), popen() or wordexp() C library functions with a user-supplied argument. A local user permitted to run such application via sudo with noexec restriction could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges.

CVE-2016-7032

noexec bypass via system() and popen()

CVE-2016-7076

noexec bypass via wordexp()

For Debian 7 โ€˜Wheezyโ€™, these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
