"The Qualys Security team discovered that sudo, a program designed to
provide limited super user privileges to specific users, does not
properly parse '/proc/[pid]/stat' to read the device number of the tty
from field 7 (tty_nr). A sudoers user can take advantage of this flaw
on an SELinux-enabled system to obtain full root privileges.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this problem has been fixed in version
1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u3.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version
1.8.10p3-1+deb8u4.

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.");
