CentOS Update for sudo CESA-2010:0361 centos5 i386. The sudo utility in CentOS 5.5 allows certain users to run commands as root, but a regression in the upstream fix for CVE-2010-0426 could allow local users to run arbitrary commands with the privileges of authorized users

tag_insight = "The sudo (superuser do) utility allows system administrators to give
  certain users the ability to run commands as root.

  The RHBA-2010:0212 sudo update released as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  5.5 added the ability to change the value of the ignore_dot option in the
  "/etc/sudoers" configuration file. This ability introduced a regression in
  the upstream fix for CVE-2010-0426. In configurations where the ignore_dot
  option was set to off (the default is on for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  sudo package), a local user authorized to use the sudoedit pseudo-command
  could possibly run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the users
  sudoedit was authorized to run as. (CVE-2010-1163)
  
  Red Hat would like to thank Todd C. Miller, the upstream sudo maintainer,
  for responsibly reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Valerio
  Costamagna as the original reporter.
  
  Users of sudo should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
  backported patch to correct this issue.";
