The remote host is missing an update for the 'sudo' package(s) announced via the USN-1046-1 advisory. Alexander Kurtz discovered that sudo would not prompt for a password when a group was specified in the Runas_Spec. A local attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as the specified group if sudo was configured to allow the attacker to use a program as this group
