"Florian Weimer discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled the noexec
restriction when used with certain applications. A local attacker
could possibly use this issue to bypass configured restrictions and
execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2016-7076)

It was discovered that Sudo did not properly parse the contents of
/proc/[pid]/stat when attempting to determine its controlling tty. A
local attacker in some configurations could possibly use this to
overwrite any file on the filesystem, bypassing intended permissions.
(CVE-2017-1000368).

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