Package : sudo Problem type : buffer overflow Debian-specific: no
fc found a buffer overflow in the variable expansion code used by sudo for its prompt. Since sudo is necessarily installed suid root a local user can use this to gain root access.
This has been fixed in version 1.6.2-2.2 and we recommend that you upgrade your sudo package immediately.
wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
