                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:		sudo
Date:			February 26th, 2001
Advisory ID:		MDKSA-2001:024

Affected versions:	7.1, 7.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A buffer overflow exists in the sudo program which could be used by an
 attacker to obtain higher privileges.  sudo is a program used to 
 delegate superuser privileges to ordinary users and only for specific
 commands.
________________________________________________________________________

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:
  rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

________________________________________________________________________

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.  

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one 
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".  

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.  

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.  
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/".  Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to 
update.
