The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sudo' package(s) announced via the DSA-3167-1 advisory. The sudo program preserves the TZ variable from a user's environment without any sanitization, which could potentially cause system behavior changes when reading certain device special files or cause the program run via sudo to block

A user with sudo access may take advantage of this to exploit bugs in the C library functions which parse the TZ environment variable or to open files that the user would not otherwise be able to open. The later could potentially cause changes in system behavior when reading certain device special files or cause the program run via sudo to block.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.5p2-1+nmu2.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.");
