Synopsis:	Moderate: sudo security update
Issue date:	2009-02-05
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0034

A flaw was discovered in a way sudo handled group specifications in "run
as" lists in the sudoers configuration file. If sudo configuration 
allowed a user to run commands as any user of some group and the user 
was also a member of that group, sudo incorrectly allowed them to run 
defined commands with the privileges of any system user. This gave the 
user unintended privileges. (CVE-2009-0034)
