Synopsis:	Moderate: sudo security update
Issue date:	2010-06-15
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-1646

A flaw was found in the way sudo handled the presence of duplicated
environment variables. A local user authorized to run commands using 
sudo could use this flaw to set additional values for the environment 
variables set by sudo, which could result in those values being used by 
the executed command instead of the values set by sudo. This could 
possibly lead to certain intended restrictions being bypassed, such as 
the secure_path setting. (CVE-2010-1646)
