[slackware-security]  sudo (SSA:2025-181-01)

New sudo packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/sudo-1.9.17p1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes security issues:
  Sudo's -h (--host) option could be specified when running a command or
  editing a file. This could enable a local privilege escalation attack if
  the sudoers file allows the user to run commands on a different host.
  An attacker can leverage sudo's -R (--chroot) option to run arbitrary
  commands as root, even if they are not listed in the sudoers file.
  The chroot support has been deprecated an will be removed entirely in a
  future release.
  For more information, see:

  (* Security fix *)
