Details

Harald Koenig discovered that sudo did not correctly handle certain
privilege changes when handling groups. If a local attacker belonged
to a group included in a β€œRunAs” list in the /etc/sudoers file, that
user could gain root privileges. This was not an issue for the default
sudoers file shipped with Ubuntu.
