This bug only affects configurations which have restricted user configurations prior to an ALL directive in the configuration file. A workaround is to move any ALL directives to the beginning of the sudoers file, see the advisory at for more information.
For the old stable Debian distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.6-1.3woody1.
For the current stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8p7-1.1sarge1.
Note that packages are not yet ready for certain architectures, these will be released as they become available.
We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package.");
